Errors on Delimited Text Import

Source file errors or format incompatibility

The PdxEditor Delimited Text Import does a thorough testing on every record for record structure and field conversion compatibility when importing from a delimited text file.

As other sources may export with different data formats and some times structural errors, this may raise errors when importing into the PdxEditor.

Below is an example of a currently non compliant date format.

ImportErrorDateTimeConversion

Also, dates must be of either the ISO format or comply with the date format of the current system settings.

Decimal point character too must comply with system setting to import correctly.

In case of incorrect use of inside field quote characters, this may raise errors on reading the record structure and may cause misreading of the number of fields of the currently imported record as below.

ImportErrorFieldCount
For correct use of inside field quotes the quoted KRIM word should have been with twinned double quotes as:
;" ... ""KRIM""";
to distinguish the word quotes from the field quotes.
