What I do is to convert it to XML like

Input: (the delimiter can be set to any char)
01|"FILE DESWCRIPTION"|20140717|"HOSPF001"|""|""|""|""|

10|123456789|123456789|111223333|"LAST NAME"|"FIRST NAME"|"MIDDLE
NAME"|"SUFFIX"|"ALIAS LST NAME"|"NICKNAME"|

Output:
<row rrn="1">
<column1>01</column1>
<column2>FILE DESWCRIPTION</column2>
<column3>20140717</column3>
<column4>HOSPF001</column4>
<column5 />
<column6 />
<column7 />
<column8 />
</row>
<row rrn="2">
<column1>10</column1>
<column2>123456789</column2>
<column3>123456789</column3>
<column4>111223333</column4>
<column5>LAST NAME</column5>
<column6>FIRST NAME</column6>
<column7>MIDDLE NAME</column7>
<column8>SUFFIX</column8>
<column9>ALIAS LST NAME</column9>
<column10>NICKNAME</column10>
</row>

We have a new third party EDI provider that is replacing our on-premise
mapping software. They will be sending us data in CSV files with multiple
record types per line, as in each line directly correlates to a specific
file on our system.

We use JDE and they are sending the data elements to match the fields in
the upload files for sales orders (the F47 files for inbound 850s for those
in the know).

And ideas or suggestions on how to parse this CSV?

I'm thinking that I'll need to read the CSV off the IFS and load each file
field individually, but I'd rather not have to do that. Looking for a
quicker more efficient method as we're talking about 500 total fields!

Thanks
