How to deal with comma in description when using TRANSFORM_FILE to read CSV file?
How to deal with comma in description when using TRANSFORM_FILE to read CSV file?
I am using the TRANSFORM_FILE to read a CSV file into a list, it works fine most of the time, but when there is a comma in the description field, it will shift everything off, I try to double-quote the description field and it is not working. Is there any way to deal with this issue?

If there are double quotes around the description with the comma then it should work. If you are sure you have "description, and a comma" then something else is wrong.

Thanks for the help!
Yes, I did have double quotes around the description. Please refer to the uploaded screen snip.
You suggested something else is wrong, where should I start the search?!

My test is doing that also. Looks like a bug in transform_file. Whenever I import CSV's using IBM i or Excel the double quote is valid.
