[SOLVED] How to write the file from the database
Hi Everyone

I need to write the file including column header with comma(,) or pipe(|) delimiter from the table using webfocus.

for example output should be:

S.No|S_Name|S_Address1|S_Address2|S_Phone_no
1|xxxx|dvhv|dhvg|98840
2|yyyy|fsgf|cfhsdjf|30788

Please help me, we are struggling more on this

Well, FORMAT COMT gives you a bogstandard .csv file with the titles.

If you need something more exotic, and you need to use some masking then you might want to look at

Actually, what Tony there said DFIX is the way to go:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT DFIX DELIMITER | ENCLOSURE " HEADER YES
END

Or what was in your example, you can leave that ENCLOSURE " away.
