CDC – CHCCLP – Option to print the “monitor replication” as comma separated report

CDC – CHCCLP – Option to print the “monitor replication” as comma separated report
A option to print reports in comma delimited format. 
For example:  the “monitor replication” prints a formatted report, but would like to receive the report in comma delimited format.
Then we can parse the output and reformat and print only the column we want.
The formatted reports are not easy to parse.
The column width could differ in length by datastore,  length of data in column, and if columns contain data or not.

Example: (current output)
SUBSCRIPTION     STATE               SCHEDULED END    LATENCY          SOURCE DATASTORE   TARGET DATASTORE
---------------- ------------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------------------ -----------------
SUB1             Mirror Continuous                                     SOURCE_DS          TARGET_DS
SUB2             Mirror Continuous                                     SOURCE_DS          TARGET_DS
SUB3             Mirror Continuous                                     SOURCE_DS          TARGET_DS

Proposed output:
SUBSCRIPTION,STATE,SCHEDULED END,LATENCY,SOURCE DATASTORE,TARGET DATASTORE
SUB1,Mirror Continuous,,,SOURCE_DS,TARGET_DS
SUB2,Mirror Continuous,,,SOURCE_DS,TARGET_DS
SUB3,Mirror Continuous,,,SOURCE_DS, TARGET_DS

 

The formatted reports are not easy to parse. The column width could differ in length by datastore name,  length of data in column, and if columns contain data or not. 
For example:
SUBSCRIPTION     STATE               SCHEDULED END    LATENCY          SOURCE DATASTORE   TARGET DATASTORE
---------------- ------------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------------------ ----------------------------------------
SUBA1         Mirror Continuous                                        SOURCE_DS1         External (long_cloud.server.name@7001)
-
SUBSCRIPTION     STATE               SCHEDULED END                  LATENCY          SOURCE DATASTORE   TARGET DATASTORE
---------------- ------------------- ------------------------------ ---------------- ------------------ --------------------------
SUBB1            Mirror Continuous                                                   SOURCE_DS2    External (long_cloud.server.name@7003
SUBB2            Inactive            Thu Oct 12 22:50:00 EDT 2023                    SOURCE_DS2    TARGET_DS2
SUBB3            Mirror Continuous                                                   SOURCE_DS3    External (long_cloud.server.name@7004
SUBB4            Mirror Continuous                                                   SOURCE_DS4    External (long_cloud.server.name@7005
-
SUBSCRIPTION     STATE               SCHEDULED END    LATENCY          SOURCE DATASTORE   TARGET DATASTORE
---------------- ------------------- ---------------- ---------------- ------------------ ----------------------------------------
SUBC1            Mirror Continuous                                     SOURCE_DS3        External (long_cloud.server.name@7001)
