In your subroutine, if you first convert @FM -> char(250)
Then do your line scan, when your inside a quote , if you encounter a char(250)
convert it to a char(253)
once your done, convert c

Thats the way i process csv, because of the cr/lf issue but also you can
have double set of quotes inside a quoted field and of course h

For any CSV processing, you must process character by character. Use
OSBREAD to get a block of characters and start parsing. Strings like
1,ABC,"2"" adapter",, can only be correctly parsed by looking at each
character and applying the simple CSV rules. Using CONVERT statements
only makes the pro

It's been a while - but I'm pretty sure that OSBREAD keeps the CR/LF as part of
the block (you may need to put NO CONVERT ON in the code). READSEQ
automatically ends at the CR/LF so you would have to "put the lines together"
if you were short fields.
In both cases it would mean going through

For text files I like to use openseq and readseq. With embedded CR/LF's (which
are actually valid in a csv file) you would have to see if you needed to put
the lines back together. There were a couple of examples of reading csv files a
while back in CDP.
The other alternative is to use osopen
