The " character in CPYFRMIMPF

["Jeff Crosby" <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We regularly get files from the State of Indiana in .csv format (their
choice) which I put into the IFS and then use CPYFRMIMPF to get it into the
database.

Today they sent a file with the following record:

FDP,COM,"BP11","Freezer","72/5.5oz por.","15" Ital. Pizza","15" Italian
Pizza",0,0,26,24.75,9.97,0,28,07/28/2004,|
                                            ^                 ^

Note the 2 places where they used the " symbol.  If I open the file in
Excel, it is smart enough to know it's part of the data, not a delimiter.
CPYFRMIMPF, however, doesn't seem to be able to figure that out.  Is there
any way around this?  I searched IBM support and these archives.  (If there
ain't no , behind the " then the " ain't no delimiter.)

Sheesh, MS with more intelligent software than IBM?  The apocalypse must be
upon us. <g>
