Adrian,

  I've read this.

CSV Format
...
"The values in each record are separated by the DELIMITER character. If
the value contains the delimiter character, the QUOTE character, the NULL
string, a carriage return, or line feed character, then the whole value is
prefixed and suffixed by the QUOTE character, and any occurrence within
the value of a QUOTE character or the ESCAPE character is preceded by the
escape character.  You can also use FORCE_QUOTE to force quotes when
outputting non-NULL values in specific columns." ...

  So, if the column attribute is text of some flavor I still need to force
quotes column-by-column?

  Guess I still need to import the output into a spreadsheet, format each
text and date column, then write it out again as a .csv file ... or, better
yet, write a one-line awk program that quotes the appropriate tokens! That's
what I'll do.

Thanks,

Rich
