How to use quoter with TAB delimited data files UNIX example
Subject: TAB delimiter character and quoter
The quoter utility supplied with PROGRESS can be used to reformat
data files where the TAB character was used as a field delimiter.
Use the syntax shown below to process the file prior to loading.
In this example, the data file "cust-tab.d" would be the datafile
from the source application which used the tab character as a field
delimiter; the "cust-quoted.d" file would be the resulting PROGRESS-
format data file.
UNIX VALUE ('quoter -d "' + chr (9) + '" cust-tab.d > cust-quoted.d') .
or :
UNIX quoter -d "'~t'" cust-tab.d > cust-quoted.d
