I have created a report in Crystal 2013 that I need to export as a tab delimited file for import into QuickBooks. If I run the export from within Crystal 2013, the export works fine. All the data is there delimited by tabs. Each field is set to "Can Grow".
The image in Excel shows I am in cell A3 and it has only one item in it TRNS, each field is in its own column.
We purchased software that uses the Business Objects XI Driver (the Crystal Redistributable program). When I run the program to export the data (the software only lets you export this report) and choose tab delimited, none of the data is delimited, it is all concatenated together in one big long string for each line.
If the data is longer than the field length in Crystal, the "Can Grow" option moves all the extra information to line 2, and all fields that had extra data and went to line 2 is concatenated together in one string. And if the data went to a line 3 it concatenated all the line 3 data together.
The image in Excel shows I am in cell A3 and it has everything on row 3 combined into one string, data that is not set to "Can Grow" is cut off like the date which is showing 6/13/20 (does not show the 14) and it continues to the 1100 (which is the General Ledger code, but cuts off "Account Payables"). The company name is set to "Can Grow". The company name is CASTS CAST SERVICES AND MACHINGING. You can see CASTS CAST on line 3 but the rest of the company name moves down to row 4 and 5.
If I export the file from the software as txt, I get the same thing as exporting it as tab delimited.
I cannot figure out why this is doing this.
