DETAILS Exporting data from the grid control to a csv file can truncate columns. This is because the header was limited to 256 characters. Header names can be up to eight charcaters long and are enclosed in quotes, delimited by commas so the limit can be reached after 23 variables EXAMPLE PROGRAM View a record with 100 or so variables in the spreadsheet control and press Export. Open the csv file in excel (or other) and count the columns. There will be fewer than the original. WORKAROUND Use CSV SAVE FILE with RECTYPE = x where x is the record you wish to export.
