Stephen,
If it is an NPR report it can be set up with the delimiter or as said below
you can put in a semi-colon, BAR (|), etc within the report in front of
each field.

Stephen,
What is the nature of the problem you are having with the download from
Meditech. I have downloaded NPR reports from Meditech many times, the key
is to try an “uncommon” delimiter. I tend to use a semi-colon.

Subject: [Talk] Datastation Problems
I am trying to open a generic file in datastation. The file is a txt file
downloaded from Meditech. The only way I have found to be able to open the
file and my records open up properly is to open it as an excel file. If I
open the file as a generic file my records do not show up in datastation.
The file is formatted as follows:
123456
654321
789654
654789
345976
Each number should be a new record. Is it possible to tweak the .bds file
to open this properly as a generic file? The problem is that the PC I will
be running this script on does not have excel. So when the script tries to
open the file I get a message stating that the machine does not have excel.
How do I get this to work without having to install excel?
Thanks,
Stephen Smesny
