I have two methods I have used for processing incoming CSV's.



The first was to use the gettok() function written by Scott Klement with
an enhancement (I made) to allow for a feature of CSV, null columns.
This gives you the ability to insert the CSV values into an array.



My current preferred method is to create a generic "EXCEL" table with
128 varying character null capable columns. Use CPYFRMIMPF then does
not need a file definition selection and you do not need to know if the
CSV has COLUMN headings. I use the EXCEL table in QSL or as an RPG
file. The only real problem is that I have to know which column is
which to prevent data from being put into the wrong factual DB columns.



Thanks, Matt
