RE: Getting a Handle on RPG’s Open Access

Vern,
I was thinking about that after I left for the day.
I'm creating a file for HSA contributions and the instructions said to use a .CSV file. When the requesting user opened the template file it had Headings, although it did open in Excel.
I might need to double check this and make sure it truly is a .CSV file they need.

CSV doesn't have a heading line as such - it's just another data line with the heading text in the fields.

I've not looked at their example in a while, so I'll take a stab at a caveat - be careful about data types if you want to put heading on it - or be sure that every column is alpha.

I’ve been working through Jon and Susans example to write a CSV file on the IFS.
I have it working, but I’m not sure how/if I can write a line with headings?

Thanks
