Sytze,

If you are lucky enough to be able to use the COPY TO ... TYPE CSV, it may
be easier than you think:

   CREATE CURSOR csvoutput (contname c(30))
   INSERT INTO csvoutput VALUES ("Paul")
   INSERT INTO csvoutput VALUES ("John")

   SELECT contname as ContactName FROM csvoutput INTO CURSOR finaloutput

   COPY TO sytzetest TYPE CSV 

   MODIFY FILE sytzetest.csv NOWAIT
