Hi
I have created a fex file that creates the CSV .

SQL SQLORA
SELECT 'abcd' A , 'efgh' B FROM dual;

FILEDEF HOLDMAST DIR /tmp
FILEDEF SALES DISK /tmp/sales.csv

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT
*
ON TABLE HOLD AS SALES FORMAT COMT
END


TABLE FILE SALES
PRINT
*
END

****************************************

I have got the SALES.CSV as desired (with headers).

I am distributing this CSV file uing Reportcaster in the COMMA distribution format . I cant get the column headers .

Does anyone know how to get the column headers ?.

With your code, it has been my experience that RC will distribute the output from the TABLE FILE SALES. Sounds like you want the SALES.CSV output from the TABLE FILE SQLOUT.

I think you should remove the TABLE FILE SALES.

Then in RC, edit the task. Then in the Report Distribution Information, make sure you have Report Format as Comma.

That should do it.

Hi Navin,

I have open a case with this issue,
they tell me to use a the beginning of my fex

LET COMMA=COMT

but it does'nt work the case is still open
my webfocus version is 7.1.6 apparently in 7.6
this issue is resolve.

It's not only the title that disappear with COMMA format, each field is padded with trailling blank.

As soon as I get an answer from IB I'll let you know.

Navin and Pedro,

The LET COMMA=COMT solution is close. However, for some reason (not yet sure why), you need to specify a format other than COMMA in your Caster job.

I tested in WF 716 and specified the output format of DOC. In my focexec, I used "LET DOC=COMT" and got your desired output as follows:

"COUNTRY","CAR","MODEL","SEATS","RETAIL_COST","DEALER_COST"
"ENGLAND","JAGUAR","V12XKE AUTO",2,8878,7427
"ENGLAND","JAGUAR","XJ12L AUTO",5,13491,11194
"ENGLAND","JENSEN","INTERCEPTOR III",4,17850,14940
"ENGLAND","TRIUMPH","TR7",2,5100,4292
"FRANCE","PEUGEOT","504 4 DOOR",5,5610,4631
...

Also, an FYI... bursting is not yet supported with the COM/COMT output types. This is currently an NFR.

I hope this helps!

Terry
