Hi Mike
Hopefully, this makes some sense
If you can recognize the format of each record BEFORE parsing, why don't you read the csv file, create a temporary file in QTEMP for that format, and the use the CPYFRMIMPF from that one record file into another file of the correct format
Saves the headache of trying to write something to parse out the data correctly

Subject: Translating CSV to Data Structure (or iterating through a data structure)
I have a document I need to parse where each row is a different format. The document is pipe "|" delimited. Is is possible to write a more generic subprocedure to take each row and a data structure and fill in the data structure? What I am thinking is iterating through each field in the data structure and filling it with the corresponding field from the CSV line that I parse. Is this even possible?
