Hi Madhu,

One of the reasons it is suggested that members include their version of WebFOCUS in their signature is so that they don't have to remember to add it to their post.

Hence, we have no idea of the version to which you refer!

I am using 8.2.04 for my test and I get a file with headers from the following code. I click on a column title expand the Export menu item and choose CSV format.

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RCOST DCOST BY COUNTRY BY CAR BY MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
END
-RUN

When you execute your code and select Export to CSV, the output will display in new window.

My requirement is when i click the export to csv the file should be download with heading and formatted data

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR.BODY.DEALER_COST
CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
CAR.BODY.SALES
BY LOWEST CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY LOWEST CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES 1000
ON TABLE SET WEBVIEWTARG OFF

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
$
TYPE=DATA,
COLUMN=N1,
ALT = 'DrillDown 1',
FOCEXEC=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/TEST/Report1_1.fex,

So your Report1_1.fex is the controlling extract process then and not the standard AHTML export.

You ought to have mentioned that first as it changes the response.

Look at the help files for the use of FORMAT DFIX as that will give you greater control than FORMAT COMT etc.

Your signature still isn't showing.

Formatting is impossible for any CSV file as it is just a text file.

I would open a case and ask IBI how that would be done in AHTML.

In FOCUS since 1986	WebFOCUS Server 8.2.01M, thru 8.2.07 on Windows Svr 2008 R2
	WebFOCUS App Studio 8.2.06 standalone on Windows 10
