Hi,

We are trying to generate a CSV file from CDT and the first heading on the file starts with @ symbol. Now when I open the file in a text editor Appian/plugin adds some extra characters to it. How do I get around this?

Example --

 the file generated in Appian -

 "'@ENB"
NE ID,NE Type,NE Version,Release Version,Network,NE Name,Local Time Offset,EAIU,FW Auto Fusing,Site ID
213208,macro,22.B.0,r_0130,TELUS,LTSAB0213208,0,not-equip,off,0

The output we are expecting -

@ENB
NE ID,NE Type,NE Version,Release Version,Network,NE Name,Local Time Offset,EAIU,FW Auto Fusing,Site ID
213208,macro,22.B.0,r_0130,TELUS,LTSAB0213208,0,not-equip,off,0

Also, we don't want any space in front.

Did you try creating a template with that header? And then, reuse it to create your final CSV file
