Hi all
I have a CSV file (MyFile.CSV) with a single line that looks like this: FIN005,,06/11/2020,06/11/2020,06/11/2020,T116434,C,,,,,,,N,,,,,,,8300,,-15,,-3,,,H,S,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,LEITH You can verify for yourselves that LEITH is the 58th column. I have a table (MyTable.DBF) with 66 fields and Field(58) returns SA_JOB
The following fails to populate SA_JOB
Select MyTable APPEND FROM MyFile.CSV TYPE DELIMITED
All the other columns are correct in the table. I am completely stumped so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Paul, I created a 60 col table (all character type) and append that line. The 58th col correctly has the word 'LEITH' So for me, it is behaving as expected. I have uploaded both the files to https://we.tl/t-txhbr0rAAM Ajit

What's the structure of your DBF, notably the definition of the 58th field?

Hi Paul,
cmd = "CREATE CURSOR mytable (" FOR ii = 1 TO 66 cmd = cmd + "F" + TRANSFORM(ii) + " c(10)" IF ii < 66 cmd = cmd + "," ENDIF NEXT cmd = cmd + ")" &cmd. Select MyTable APPEND FROM MyFile.CSV TYPE DELIMITED BROWSE LAST NOWAIT
F58 gets the value LEITH
I don't have a reason why your 58th field is being populated. List Structure of MyTable will give you the field number next to the field name. This may help you verify your table.
HTH, Tracy

I know that SA_JOB is the 58th field in the table FIELD(58) returns SA_JOB

Are you taking into account that there's a memo field in there, into which with CSV you can't import ?

That's what the problem turned out to be ...

Having said that it works for me with or without the memo field in the DBF. Although field(58) only returns sa_job if you remove the memo field from the DBF.
