[SOLVED] CSV Output

Hi all,
In the CSV ouput if there exists no data for a particular column then it diplays 0 for numeric columns and ''(BLANK) for alphanumeric columns. I want blank to be displayed for numeric columns too. I searched in the forums, but in vain.
Please find below the sample code.
Query:
SELECT XYZ,ABC from dual where 1 =2 ;
SO the above query fetches no data.

Report:
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
*
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT COMT
END

OUTPUT:
0 0(If XYZ and ABC are numeric & Date columns,
it is BLANK if they are ALPHANUMERIC columns)

Try converting numeric column to alphanumeric.
Am not sure if this is the only solution.

COMPUTE XYZ_A/A10 = IF XYZ EQ 0 THEN ' ' ELSE EDIT(XYZ);

Hi Ajay,
To display a blank when a numeric is zero (0) use the Zero Suppress feature. This feature is activated by appending an "S" to the field format. For example, F5.2S. This can be done in the Master or Define, based on either a permanent or temporary needs, respectively.
Hope this helps,
Nick
