The CSV reader is used to read CSV files. To import CSV files with a header, you must include an appropriate specification in the CSV configuration file, so that the first line of the CSV file is interpreted as a header (see chapter on CSV configuration).
Capitalization in the column headings and data field values is transferred unchanged from the CSV files.
The following chapters describe the behavior of the CSV reader and the CSV system event generator using simple examples. In the examples, the CSV file is compared to the corresponding XML output file in PPM system event format. A CSV data record and column headings are transformed into a system event in the XML output file in PPM system event format.
