Delimiter In Reporting Services CSV File
Jul 18, 2007
Hello,
Does any one know a simple way of changing the delimiter value for a CSV report delivered via email from SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services? The default is comma.
From the research I've done it seems that it can be done by writing a VB script that calls the Render method, but I'm not a developer and it seems crazy to have to go to those lengths just to change one attribute of a rendering extension that is available out-of-the-box.
I hoped that I would be able to change a value in a config file (e,g, RSReportServer.config), but this seems not to be the case.
Thanks

Currently I'm working on a few SSRS reports which will be exported to CSV.
In some of the fields e.g. "Description" the data can contain carriage return and line feed characters (CR LF). SO when that happens the csv export breaks the line and rest of the data from that fields goes into the net line. This creates a few undesirable line breaks.
I can always replace these characters from that fields.
Is there a way I keep those characters in the field and still my csv export come up fine.

Hi,
I have a problematic file. It's vertical-bar delimited, but the file conn mgr can't find ANY of the pre-defined row delimiter types.
The data looks like this:
col1|col2|col3|||||||||
With a bunch of vertical bars on the end of each line.
How should I handle this file?
Thanks!

I'm sure I'm not the only one frustrated trying to figure out which log file SSRS writes to when an error occurs. Does anybody know a sure way to tell? It doesn't change the date/time of the date modified, so you can't sort by date in windows explorer. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which file it writes to. For example, I had to go through 6 log files to find which one was being written to. I had thought (hoped) that it would always write to the log files with the latest embedded date/time stamp as part of the file name. It does not.
I'm tempted to start using a file system spy, or resort to other tactics. Does anyone have a sure fired way to see which log file is written to when an error occurs? I'm not talking about SQL Dump files - just "normal" errors when processing reports.
Thanks,
WillyDog

Currently have a single hard coded file path to the SSRS config file which parses the file and provides the reporting services web service url. My question is how would i run this same query against 100s of servers that may or may not share the same file path as the one hard coded ?
Is there a way to query the registry to find the location of the config file of any server ? which could be on D, E, F, H, etc.
I know I can string together the address followed by "reports" and named instance if needed, but some instances may not have used the default virtual directory name (Reports).
Am I going about this the hard way ? Is there a location where the web service url exists in a table ? I could not locate anything in the Reporting service database. Basically need to inventory all of my reporting services url's.

Hello Folks,
I have a importfile that I need to insert into an db table. The file looks like this:
one;two;three;text;moretext
one;two;three;text;moretext;
one;two;three;text;moretext
one;two;three;text;moretext;
one;two;three;text;moretext
one;two;three;text;moretext;
As you can see some rows contains a delimiter while others dont. There is a programing error on the application that generates the file and this cannot be changes.
Is there a way in integration services to remove the delimiter ?
Thanks

Hi,
I'm trying to design this package where i take data from a source and need to transform it into a flatfile with some extra static information.
I use a SQL script like this (ex.):
SELECT '
BS0220131264202400000130001'+cast(wa.perf_applicant_number as nvarchar)+'000000000' + wa.perf_firstname + ' ' + wa.perf_lastname + CHAR(13)+
'BS0220131264202400000330001'+REPLICATE('0',(15-LEN(wa.perf_applicant_number)))+cast(wa.perf_applicant_number as nvarchar)+'000000000' + WAPD2.strvalue+ '
BS0520131264202410001130001'+REPLICATE('0',(15-LEN(wa.perf_applicant_number)))+cast(wa.perf_applicant_number as nvarchar)+'000000000 tekst der skal stå på kortet' as nvarchar
FROM dbo.WAIT_Applicant WA (nolock)
This makes the text (from one record) split up over several lines in the output.
I succeded with this in a SQL2000 DTS package and the flat txt-file looked liked I wan't it to. But now i tried doing it in 2005. And now it is not workin' anymore
In my Flat File Connection Manager Editor i chose {LF} as the row delimiter and the preview looks really nice. Like this:
BS0220131264202400000130001000000015826727000000000Søren Hesth
BS0220131264202400000330001000000015826727000000000adfasdf
BS0520131264202410001130001000000015827207000000000 tekst der skal stå på kortet
But in the file that is created it doesn't split up over several lines. Instead of a carriage return it puts a [black box] - a sign which counts as the carriage return.
I don't know if I have explained this well enough, but I hope that someone can help me. I've been trying for 3 days now.

Hello Everyone,
Hope someone will be able to help me out here.
I have a text file exported from my DTS package and it requires an '!' as a custom column delimiter.
Does anyone have any idea how I can use the '!' mark instead of the Tab or Vertical Bar as my Column Delimiter?
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Kay

I have a text file that loads just fine with DTS 2000, but in SSIS it does not seems to recognize the row delimiter. For example, most rows in the text file have 10 columns, but some have 8 columns. For those with 8 columns, the SSIS is adding the data from next row, not padding the columns with nulls. Please help...
Thanks in advance.

hi guys,
i am working on a project witch involves creating packages on-the-fly to import data from txt/csv/xls files according to some definitions on the database.
so far, i have been doing fine.
now we are planning the ASP.net page that enables the customer to define the input file format that will be imported to the system. we want it to have the same listBox as the FlatFileConnectionManager Editor has to define some properties, such as - column delimeiter.
the code to set the column delimiter looks like this:
SSISRunTime.IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFile90 myFilecn = null;
myFilecn = (SSISRunTime.IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFile90)package.Connections["InputFileConnection"].InnerObject;
DtsConvert.ToConnectionManager90(package.Connections["InputFileConnection"]);
SSISRunTime.IDTSConnectionManagerFlatFileColumn90 col
col = myFilecn.Columns.Add(); //.....
string colDelimiter ="|" ; // it actually gets the data from the database... but it is the same thing
col.ColumnDelimiter = colDelimiter;
when we deal with the simple characters- "," , ";" , "|" ... we have no problems with setting the delimiter. but how can i set the delimiter to Tab? or {CR} ? {LF}?
i tried to look at the dtsx- XML , and i see that the column delimiter that is defined when i choose Tab is: _x007C_, but when i try to do something like this:
col.ColumnDelimiter = "_x007C_" ;
it doesn't work. the same happens when I try "{t}" or "Tab".
how do i solve this problem, and enable the user to select Tab as a column delimiter?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have a dts package that imports a number of text files into a SQL Server 2000 database table. The package has been set up to accept a text file with a row delimiter of carriage return and line feed ({CR}{LF}). Some of the text files I receive only have a line feed ({LF}) as the row delimiter and the dts package fails the file. Is there an activex script i can use that will scan the file and change the row delimiter as required?
i was going to use the filesystemobject which allows me to read a line at a time, however the Readline method doesn't read the new line character. The text files are too big to read into one variable and then do a replace.
Any help would be appreciated
I am using SQL Server 2000 SP3, Windows Server 2000 and Windows XP Professional. All systems are fully patched

Good day everyone,
I have a package that reads data from a CSV file, transforms it and finally loads it in a destination DB table.
My current problem lies in the parsing of the input flat file. I shall illustrate it using a small example.
Source File:
P;Product-1;Short Description for product 1
P;Product-2;Short Description for product 2
Problem:
I configured the flat file connection manager to use semicolon as the column separator. But then I have received some sample flat files where I found that the semicolon might be sometimes used as content of a column data.
Possible Solutions:
I have thought about 3 different solution and I would like to get your feedback and recommendations about them.
Alternative 1:
Use a complex column delimiter, which wouldn't be used in the data.
Example:
P#~#Product-1#~#Short Description for product 1
P#~#Product-2#~#Short Description for product 2
Question 1:
- Is it possible to define such a customized column delimiter for the Flat File Connection Manager?
- If yes, how can I do this?
Alternative 2:
Use double quotes around the data, which the Flat File Source Adapter must somehow recognize and trim before pushing the data down the Data Flow.
Example:
"P";"Product-1";"Short Description for product 1"
"P";"Product-2";"Short Description for product 2"
Question 2:
- Is it possible to configure the Flat File Source Adapter to work as described?
- If yes, how can I do this?
Alternative 3:
Use a Script Component and write the needed code for parsing the Flat File.
Question 3:
- Do you have further suggestions/ideas for solving this parsing problem?
Thanks in advance and my regards,
Samar

When I use SQL 2000 DTS Export to create a fixed length flat file, the data rows are delimited by carriage return-line. Which means that when I open the flat file in a text editor like UltraEdit or WordPad, the data rows are broken out nicely (row ends at the max row length position and new row starts at position 0).
But when I use SSIS to create the file, the whole file is displayed as one line in WordPad. The data rows don't end at the max row lenght position in ultraEdit neither. From Flat File Connection Manager's Preview page, I can see the data rows are displayed properly.
Now I wonder if the flat file destination is a true fixed length file.

I have a gazillion text files, each with dozens of records. The fields are pipe-delimited, the end of each record is marked by ASCII char code 28.
example:
05|11900307|1|CO|Gervais|Neil|NG8880|F|540|0|0|0|T|0|||F|||F 05|11900307|2|AO|MARSHALL|BRAD|BM7843|F|510|60|0|0|T|0|||F|||F
The " " is the Chr(28). The line above should parse into 2 rows...
**** time passes ****
An interesting discovery - if I paste that " " directly into the row delimiter box, without quotes or brackets, I get two records!
So I found at least one answer.
Is there another?
TIA

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to override the column delimiter from a script task for a flat file connection.
Before outputing the data into a file, I have a variable which contains the delimiter to be used... but as it seems that this property cannot be changed through an expression, I assume it has to be done throught code...
However, the connectionmanager object doesnt seem to have the delimiter as an available property.
Any help would be appreciated

I'm trying to use SQL Server Reporting Services (SQL Server 2008 R2) to produce a CSV file. Row 1 in the CSV has to be a summary row with 8 columns. The detail rows which follow have 24 columns. The data in the summary row is "static" except for a date, a count of detail rows, and a total amount due based on the detail rows that follow. Here's an example of what we need it to look like:
HDR,4242,0,1,20150203,25,I,25823.18,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
DTL,4242,0,1,20150203,255092,20150129,989,C,Net 0,Due Upon Receipt,12703,Some Super Customer,1001 Grandview Dr,,SomeCity,TX,US,75012,9729990000,,,,
DTL,4242,0,1,20150203,255093,20150129,1360,C,Net 0,Due Upon Receipt,23774,Another Awesome Customer,52 Six Flags Dr,,DeepInTheHeart,TX,US,76006,8174445555,,,,
I've been able to get the report itself to render correctly in Visual Studio or from a browser using several different approaches but they all fail in one way or another when I try to save it as a CSV (eg, a header is prepended to each detail so they end up side by side, header and detail end up with extra columns, etc).
