[SOLVED] CSV File Issue (Format COM)

When I run the code below with the Default Make of "BMW' I get prompted to Open, Save or Save as the CSV output(6 records) in Excel.
If I enter a Make of 'KIA', no records are found and I branch to label 'RUN_RPT2' where I run the same code with Make 'BMW' but I don't get prompted to open the CSV output in Excel.
Has anyone experienced this issue or have a solution ?

-SET &ECHO = 'ALL';
-DEFAULT &MAKE = 'BMW'
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
WHERE CAR EQ '&MAKE';
SUM
RCOST
DCOST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT COM
END
-RUN
-IF &LINES EQ 0 GOTO RUN_RPT2;
-EXIT
-*
-RUN_RPT2
TABLE FILE CAR
WHERE CAR EQ 'BMW';
SUM
RCOST
DCOST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT COM
END

It reproduces in 8203M as well. I added a -RUN and it didn't make a difference. I also tried different formats like XLSX and PDF. The only two formats that worked are HTML and AHTML. I really can't figure out what's causing this but clearly it has to do with the &LINES if test.

Try using HOLD files ... then create the CSV at the end ... Like this ...

SET EXCELSERVURL = ''
-*
-DEFAULT &MAKE = 'KIA'
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
WHERE CAR EQ '&MAKE';
SUM
RETAIL_COST
DEALER_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE HOLD
END
? HOLD
-RUN
-IF &LINES EQ 0 GOTO RUN_RPT2;
-GOTO DO_CSV;
-EXIT
-*
-RUN_RPT2
TABLE FILE CAR
WHERE CAR EQ 'BMW';
SUM
RETAIL_COST
DEALER_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE HOLD
END
? HOLD
-RUN
-*
-DO_CSV
TABLE FILE HOLD
SUM
RETAIL_COST
DEALER_COST
BY CAR
BY MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XLSX
END

jfr99,

Thank you for your reply. Your work around using a hold file works fine.
I don't know why the original code doesn't work with 'COM' or 'COMT' formats. It works with Excel, PDF, HTML, DHTML, WP, etc.
