You could use _C_IFS_fgets() to get a line at a time out of the streamfile. You wouldn’t need to be as concerned about where lines start and end. The API mostly does it all for you.

thanks

Then you can record a macro of you hitting the END key, placing a comma, and hitting the down arrow. Play the macro to end of file and you’re set. Save/close the file and upload as usual. Not a long term solution perhaps, but it could get you going today.

How do I get the date, but not the terminator.

Reads in the IFS .csv file and does a %scan to get each segment to update each appropriate field. It works great for all segments except the very last one where there is no comma following it. It loops through each segment by establishing a beginning position right after the comma.

Some of the code is as follows:

DOW fgets( %addr(string):%size(string):File_i) <> *Null;
// Fromulate text line and write record…
textln = string;
@pos = 1;
@fpos = 0;
FOR i = 1 to 29;
@spos = @pos;
IF %subst(textln:@pos:1) = ‘”‘;
@spos = @spos + 1;
@fpos = %scan(‘”‘:textln:@spos) ;
@pos = @fpos + 2;
ELSE;
@fpos = %scan(‘,’:textln:@pos);
@pos = @fpos + 1;
ENDIF;
IF @spos >= @fpos;
