Structure of the CSV file
Data format
The file is created in UNICODE.
Depending on how the system is configured, the first line can contain the heading
with the language-specific field names (parameters).
Separators
In the DNCGLOBALSETTINGS table, enter the ASCII value for the separator in
INTVAL (default value is 9 (horizontal tab)).
If you open the file in Excel, the configured separators are evaluated and the
individual field contents are displayed in separate columns. If you call the file up in
the editor, the configured separators are displayed.
Comment characters
In the DNCGLOBALSETTINGS table, a data record is created by the setup tool
with NAME = #CSV with STRINGVAL=; (semicolon) as a comment character.
The first character in front of the language-specific field names (e.g. name, type) in
the first row is used as a comment character.
