[Download-List] Field delimiters

[David L. Rotman]

As several folks have suggested, this particular feature broke during
one of the revisions to DOWNLOAD.  I'll see that the feature
gets fixed in the next release.

The fix is fairly simple for those who want to make it.  In
routine DOWNLOAD.PROCESS, look for this line:
    CONVERT X.CQ.SEP TO DLMAIN.COMMA IN DETAIL.LINES
should be
    DETAIL.LINES = CHANGE(DETAIL.LINES,X.CQ.SEP,DLMAIN.COMMA)
For version 7.10, the line is at line 201.  For version 7.01/7.02,
the line is at line 195.

For release 6.x, look around line 174 and change:
    CONVERT @TM TO DLMAIN.COMMA IN DETAIL.LINES
to
    DETAIL.LINES = CHANGE(DETAIL.LINES, at TM,DLMAIN.COMMA)

After making the change, you will need to recompile and
recatalog DOWNLOAD.PROCESS.

I'll build the fix into release 7.11 (no ETA yet).

Richard's works, and he's running v7.00.  I'm running 7.1, so maybe
something was 'broke' on this latest release.

If it's any consolation, that example doesn't work here, either.  I
only get
the first < character in between the fields.
