CSVWithoutQuotesIU

Class name |
com.ebd.hub.datawizard.iu.CSVWithoutQuotesIU |
Usually, if you create a CSV file in a Response with content "CSV", the content of some target structure fields is put in quotation marks ("), for example, if a target structure field of type String contains the CSV field delimiter character. For the delimiter semicolon (;) the field value aaa;bbb would result in value "aaa;bbb" in the output file.
The Integration Unit CSVWithoutQuotesIU creates a CSV file that does not contain quotation marks. So instead of "aaa;bbb" (as described above), the value in the output file would be aaa;bbb. Please note that this would lead to an additional field in the CSV file since the semicolon would now be interpreted as a field delimiter.
It should also be noted that the parameter only quote alphanumeric values=true generally puts the values of all target structure fields of type String in quotation marks in the output file. All numerical fields do not receive quotation marks.

Note: Particularly for the work with the data format CSV, a delimiter must be defined, which is expected at various points. If a non-printable character is to be used as the separator, e.g. a control character, that character cannot simply be entered using the keyboard. In this case, a periphrasis is expected. The following periphrases are supported.
|
TAB |
Horizontal tab. |
|
NL |
Newline. |
|
CR |
Carriage return. |
|
0x<hexcode> |
Specified in hex code (2 characters [0-F]). |
Note: Also see section Representation of nonprintable delimiters.
