CSV support in parallel jobs

Post by PhilHibbs »

Parallel job Sequential File stage can't read or write CSV data. Specifically I mean the convention of doubling up the quote character if it occurs in the data, so this string:

Code: Select all

A rusty 6" nail
would be written out, just like a server job or Microsoft Excel would, as this:

Code: Select all

"A rusty 6"" nail"
Currently, it would be written out by a parallel job like this:

Code: Select all

"A rusty 6" nail"
and neither a server nor parallel job can read this back in again.

That is a known issue, and there is a current thread on the same topic.

's right. It's Phil's thread. Obviously he's firing at the vendor with all available ammunition.

Lol - I should have paid more attention :) I am fairly certain that I put this one in as eCase a couple of years back.
