Data Set for *.CVS : "Invalid flat file format"

cl-r

I use the last 3.6.2 Eclipse Report and I have this error when I want to manage a report from flat CSV file.
All (Eclipse and files) are in UTF8 charset.

What I misunderstood?

In hope this topic is in the good forum.

Best regards
Claude

Hi Claude,

Can you attach a CSV file so I can see the format of it?

Thanks for your rapid response. 
I've issue with the forum, *.csv and *.7z files cannot be uploaded : "Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file" 
 
Send me a mail address where I can send it : claude [dot] richard [at] asp [minus] public [dot] fr 
Best regards from PARIS,

If you zip them, you can add them in here. Or you can add a dummy extension of .txt to the end of the file and it will attach. Or, you can email them to me at mwilliams@actuate.com.

I have forgotten that files will be publish and they have a commented first line added with copyright. 
I've removed this line and have no more "Invalid flat file format". 
 
... But popup [Select Table] with file filter [*.csv] show a line in the left panel of column headers separeted with ';' and not a list for choosing header in it. I've tried with '\t', no more success. 
 
I've not found Data Set documentation for *csv in the Eclipse Help tool. 
What is missing? 
 
Cheers

I'm not sure I'm understanding, but maybe I am. If you go back to your dataSource, you can change your flat file type to SSV instead of CSV.

I found the origin of the problem: the header was corrupted.
Thank a lot for paying attention.
Cheers
