Re: CPYTOIMPF - extra delimiter issue

Ahh... ...that was it. I have not tried the Uzaemon one, but the one from
Marting Rowe I played with.

Interesting article, I've never written a QShell script that robust before.
I will have to play with that for fun if nothing else. Thanks!

Yes, they are not that hard to create, but easy to mess up, especially if
using a quote for the string delimiter. Forget to qualify one quote with an
additional quote and you are all messed up. I don't EVER, anymore, use
CPYTOIMPF on any release prior to V5R4. I think they got it right in that
release, V5R4 that is.

Uzaemon also has one here:

I wrote an article that shows how to build a quickie CSV generator using
QShell.. it's not the most robust thing on earth, but it shows how easy
it is to do, and gives you some code you can modify to suit your tastes

I dunno.. it seems like every day I see a forum post, or e-mail message
about someone having trouble with getting CPYTOIMPF to do exactly what
they want. It just doesn't seem like it's that difficult to write your
own that WILL do what you want, or to grab a freebie from somewhere.

Someone out there, I want to say Marting Rowe?, has a free CSV program

you

can download. I have used it before and it seems to work well. If you're

a

Java guy you can easily code one in Java to except a result set. I've got
some examples of this if you need at all.
