[Download-List] Downloading

[Donald Beck]

The only way I have tried and it worked is to use the following syntax
in an Idescriptor:

:'|':

This places a pipe between each field where : on either side specifies a
field.  So if you want a blank space between two pipes, |, then you
would have :'|':' ':'|': so the '' in the middle represents the null
field.  I have not tried using ""'s rather than |'s.

I have two situations in which I need a little nudge:

1)  I need to download basically a null field into a comma delimited
file (i.e. xxx,,,xxx)) where the information between the commas is null,
has no value.  I do not know how to build my idescriptor to do this.

2)  Also, when downloading to a comma delimited file, I remember
something about being able to remove the quotes but I can't find that
reference.  Can anyone help with that.

Thanks for any help and have a GREAT day!
