HP StorageWorks P9000 - Specification Format for a Pair Information CSV File

CSV files used by the YKIMPORT command
• Delimit item values with the comma. If there is no value for an item, you must specify a comma
to represent the empty item.
• Item values can be enclosed in double-quotation marks. In this case, only values enclosed in
the double-quotation marks are written into the copy group definition file.
• Commas specified within a character string enclosed in double-quotation marks are not handled
as delimiters.
• If any item (other than Number-Of-Pairs) is shorter than the maximum length, it is padded
with leading zeros to the maximum length. For details about Number-Of-Pairs, see
“Specification Format for a Pair Information CSV File” (page 356).
• A line beginning with //* is handled as comment. If you wish to have a header line, specify
it as a comment.
• • Lowercase characters are treated as uppercase characters.
• Spaces before and after an item are ignored.
• Character encoding must be EBCDIC.
CSV files generated by the YKEXPORT command
• If an item has no value, an equal number of space characters are inserted.
• A header line is always inserted.
• All character strings are in uppercase letters.
