Export CSV as tab-delimited Files

[Kahunamaxx]

Hi guys - how's it going?

Although I've read a lot of forum posts that say that Cognos exports CSV files as tab-delimited files - it actually appears that they are exported as comma delimited files.

Is there a way that I can change this setting to actually be tab-delimited?

thanks much!

Hi,

Tab is the default so have a look at the environment settings for your system to see if it is being overridden.

Below is a link to more details:

Specifically you are looking for the parameter: RSVP.CSV.DELIMITER
