comma delimited

It wasn't appropriate to discuss in the class room but the solution to 
embedded commas is easy to add to your presentation I believe.

The space between quote marks is treated as a constant so you can resolve 
the comma problem by putting every character field between quotes.  Your 
code would be like this:

 C       EVAL    OutRec =  '"' + FieldA + '","' +
 C                               FieldB + '","' +
 C                               FieldC + '"' 
 
Notice then that Each Character field is enclosed in commas so embedded 
commas will not cause you grief.

This works.  (I do this a lot.)  Be cautious of numeric fields; as the 
fellow in the front row said, they can not be inside quotes.

I am very anxious to write to the IFS  -  thank you John for the how-to 
lesson.
