Hi friends, I have a very strange problem, but also found a workaround for it.
I first convert an 8 MB CSV file with 60000 lines to TAB delimited data, then I parse the file and just extract some columns from the 60000 lines to display in a field. E.g. the column "number dialled", which contains phone number like -> 447973100123 The CSV files are definitively correct but I found that in the resulting field some of these numbers appear in scientific notation -> 4.47888E+11 This does not happen with phone numbers with a leading ZERO: like -> 07557162491 So maybe this a small hint? However I do not even touch these items I just use: ... put item 9 of tLine into item 6 of tNewLine ## tLine is the line from the CSV and tNewLine is for the data in the display field. ... My simple workaround, no idea why, but it obviously works: ... put item 9 of tLine into ttt put ttt into item 6 of tNewLine ... This avoids the scientific notation, what the hell is going on here? Any hints welcome.
