Convert Tab file to CSV and Load - From PeopleSoft Blog

If you got a tab limited file and want to read it as a CSV file, using the file layout, use the below code snippet.

Local File &TABFILE, &CSVFILE;
Local string &FILE_NAME, &DATA, &NEWDATA;

&FILE_NAME = "Test.txt";
&TAB = Char(9);

&TABFILE = GetFile(&FILE_NAME, "r");
&FileName = &TABFILE.Name;
&POS = Find(".", &FileName);
&NEWFILE_NAME = Substring(&FileName, 1, &POS) | "dat";
&CSVFILE = GetFile(&NEWFILE_NAME, "N", %FilePath_Absolute);
If &TABFILE.IsOpen And
&CSVFILE.IsOpen Then
While &TABFILE.ReadLine(&DATA);
&NEWDATA = Substitute(&DATA, &TAB, ",");
&CSVFILE.WriteLine(&NEWDATA);
End-While;
&TABFILE.Close();
&CSVFILE.Close();
End-If;
