You are exporting data from Business Central.
You must export the data in a non-fixed length and width in CSV format.
You need to generate an XMLport to export the data in the required format
Which Format property value should you use?
When exporting data from Business Central and the requirement is for the data to be in a non-fixed length and width CSV format, the Format property of the XMLport should be set to VariableText (B). The VariableText format is designed for handling data exports where the fields are separated by a delimiter, such as a comma or tab, which is typical of CSV (Comma-Separated Values) files. This format allows for the flexibility needed when dealing with varying field lengths, as it does not enforce a fixed width for each field, making it ideal for CSV data exports. Setting the Format property to FixedText (C) would enforce a fixed width for each field, which is not suitable for CSV files, while the XML format (A) is used for exporting data in an XML structure, which is different from the CSV format requirements.
