EGL uses the style property in
combination with the textQualifier property
to deal with reserved characters in a CSV record.
For more information, see
textQualifier. The value of
style comes
from the enumeration
CSVStyle, which offers
the following choices:
- escaped
- The textQualifier property
holds an
escape character for the delimiter, text qualifier, or end-of-line
character. This style is compatible with the way Informix® represents
data in text files, and with the EGL loadTable() and unloadTable() sqlLib
system functions.
- quoted
- The value
of the textQualifier property
protects an entire string containing the delimiter, text qualifier,
or end-of-line character. This style is compatible with Microsoft® Excel, the CSV MIME type, and
the way DB2® represents data in text files.
For more information and an example that includes the style property,
see CSVRecord stereotype.
