PROBLEM:
It can happen that you receive a CSV file that has a different field separator than the comma that DataFlex expects or has a different character set around - usually ASCII - data than the double quote or has a different record separator than the CR/LF. In such cases you need a diffent parser for the files.
The enclosed sample source code has a nice function that shows you how to parse a file with different delimiters.
