Subject: RE: [talkbws] Working with CSV files

 

I use .csv files all the time and if you put a space comma true  ( ,true) after 
your data element in your actions window then it will work fine.  Mine looks 
like this:

 

Enter D("ACCT NBR" ,true)  '4.07E+08

Subject: [talkbws] Working with CSV files

I’ve noticed that CSV files, when opened, will modify the displayed value to a 
more simplified value. For example 4409354237 will display as 4.41E+09 and 
05/02/1999 will display as 5/2/1999. Occasionally long values will display as 
########. When using Datastation it uses the displayed value instead of the raw 
value. I thought that putting quotes around each value in the file would force 
it to treat everything as text but no luck. I can do a workaround but I am 
hopeful that there is an Excel setting that I can use instead.
