Hi again,
 
I am doing a Dataset Loop and outputting the data values out to a file.  It appears to not have ALL the data in the line but has the last half of the line of data.
 
It appears to have something to do with the double-quotes around the string values returned from the column values.. No?

Dataset loop save retrieved row to user variable as comma-separated text. To access to any field you should use variable as array.
For example:
You use dataset loop and assign current row to variable named RowVar
{RowVar(0)} contains a value of first field
{RowVar(1)} - second field
{RowVar(2)} - third field
etc.

It appears to not have ALL the data in the line but has the last half of the line of data.

I'm afraid I haven't understood what do you mean.

Well I was happy with the comma-delimited string and just want to output that entire string to the file and not have to output each individual field using the {RowVar(0)} syntax.
 
Can I do that?

Yes of course. You can write comma-separated string into file via Write Text File with Append parameter within Dataset Loop.

For example:

Delete file CommaData.txt
Dataset Loop
   //append current line into end of file
   Write Text File CommaData.txt with append
end loop

As result, you will get a comma-separated text which containes the data from dataset.

See example below:

That is exactly what I am doing...
 
Ah, nevermind.  Sorry.  The data was bogus which made it look like it was incorrect, but in fact is correct.  Thanks.
