To facilitate importing the IFILE=, ISFILE=, PFILE=, SFILE= and XFILE= files into spreadsheet and database programs, the fields can be separated by commas, and the character values placed inside " " marks.

CSV=No or Fixed	Use fixed field length format (the standard) (.txt)
CSV=Yes or CSV=,	Separate values by commas (or their international replacements). If QUOTES=Yes, character fields in " " marks
CSV=Tab or CSV=	Separate values by tab characters. If QUOTES=Yes, character fields in " " marks
CSV=SPSS	SPSS format (.sav)
CSV=Excel or XL	Excel format (.xls, .xlsx)
CSV=Rstat	R-statistics format (.rda)
CSV=Webpage	Webpage format (.htm, .html)
