Defect HC-10112

Dataload delimiters cannot be more than a single character

Software

Customer case Applies to Corrected in
CS0208712 V8.0.4.23 8.0.4.27

Observed behavior

When setting a custom delimiter (using tokenDelimiter) for the dataload csv configuration, data is parsed incorrectly if the delimiter is more than a single character.

Expected behavior

There should be no restriction on the number of characters specified for the tokenDelimiter.

Resolution

Although the configuration did not restrict the length of the delimiter string, the csv parsing code was expecting a single character as the delimiter. The code has been corrected to use the length of the specified delimiter (tokenDelimiter) from the configuration file when parsing the data.
