Merged idea

This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit CA-I-2703 CSV generation options per report/run.

When running a report to CSV allow the delimiter to be selected at run time Merged

The setting for CSV delimiter is global. In a very old version of Cognos (7) you could select the delimiter when running the report. Apparently this can be set at the dispatcher level, but an extra dispatcher seems a lot of overhead just to change the delimiter for certain reports. Also you would need a dispatcher for each delimiter you need. We use Cognos to run scheduled reports that generate csv files to feed other systems. Many of these systems have different requirements for the CSV delimiter. Creating a manual output line in report studio is tedious especially when some of the items can be empty and the number of data items is large.
