Define an export table with the exact field names and lengths as the current table with the data. Then copy the data to the export table. When defining the export table you can specify the name of the csv file, dont forget to specify the .csv extension at the end of the file name when defining the export table.
Hope this helps.

I have to requirements,

1) I need to extract data present in column A from a O* table, which is of of two columns ‘A’ and ‘B’. The field value can be between 14 to 19 in length and numeric and the file should have a comma at the end of each record ( e.g – the file extract should look like below

rec1 – 1234567891011121,

rec2 – 34567891011121,

rec3 – 1234567891011121111,

2) again, I need to read the same file after processing and load data

in Column ‘B’ of the same table. the input file will look like -

rec1 – 1234567891011121,1234567891011120

rec2 – 34567891011121,34567891011120

rec3 – 1234567891011121111,1234567891011121110

can any one suggest any solution to this , it will be a great help.

Hi,
is there any way to keep the length fixed for the table fields ?
in present code, if for a table field length is 10 , and the field value is of length 3, then the next fied value is starting from the 4th position in the file. if we need to do a file compare
on field by field , current code is not helpful for that. I need to hold the even the spaces for a field ..
e.g field f1 of length 6 and f2 length 4.
value for f1 in record 1 – 333 and for f2 4666
value for f1 in record 2 – 22 and for f2 3366 expectation in the file format is –

record 1 : 333 4666
record2 : 22 3366

if any one can solve this ,will be a great help.
