Export Customers as a CSV file using Codeunit or Report

Hi All,

I want to export customers as a CSV file using Jobqueue.

Can you please provide me a piece of advice, whether i am creating code unit or report to run a jobqueue.

If it's possible through codeunit or report, please suggest me some piece of code to export a CSV file.

Thanks in advance,
Jacob.A

    Hello @Jacob1227 ,

    If you really want to use a report, you could use a "File" variable, but make sure you are not putting it on the server.

    OnPreDataItem()
    IF NOT FILE.EXISTS(<Your FileName>) THEN
    FILE.ERASE(<Your FileName>);

    fileExport.CREATE(<Your FileName>);
    fileExport.TEXTMODE := TRUE;
    fileExport.WRITEMODE := TRUE;

    OnAfterGetRecord()
    fileExport.WRITE(STRSUBSTNO('%1;%2;%3;%4;..",
    <Your Values>);

    OnPostDataItem()
    fileExport.CLOSE;

    Remove file only when it exists.

    And you gonna do things like add quotation marks and escape already existing quotation marks? In a more modern version like 17 or 18, one can use the CSV Buffer table. Unfortunately I have a similar problem in NAV2015, so I will probably backmigrate half of the functionality of the CSV Buffer...
