I have a csv file whose one row looks as follows -
12345,"London",5,"12-05-2009",198765,"UPSC","15-04-2010",...
I want to remove the double quotes from the columns 4 and 7 which contains date. Rest all the columns should remain as it is.
So output should look like -
12345,"London",5,12-05-2009,198765,"UPSC",15-04-2010,.. |

| Why do you want to do that? If something is reading a delimited file, it should itself know what to do with "s... so why do they have to come off for one type of field? |

The Analyst wants the date to be without quotes so that it can be loaded to informatica as "dates" and not "strings".
As per him if dates are in double quotes then Informatica will look at them as strings rather than dates. |

Hello,
We also would like to see the ICExxx messages - especially the ICE201I message. |

Assuming you only have quotes for 2,4,6,7 fields
Try the following.
1. Use INREC IFTHEN WHEN=INIT with FINDREP to replace 2nd field quotes to a special character (ex: @) and use DO=2. The DO will ensure only field2 quotes are replaced to @
2. Use IFTHEN WHEN=INIT with FINDREP to replace 4th field quotes to NULL and use DO=2. The DO will ensure only date quotes are removed.
3. Repeat step 1 as is to save field 6 and replace it with special character.
4. Repeat step 2 as is to remove quotes from field 7 the date field
5. Now use IFTHEN WHEN=INIT with FINDREP to replace the special character back to double quotes and use DO=4. |

Thanks.

The H indicates the specific fix-level for the code being run.
When there are new questions, it will help if you include the ICE messages and message ids. |

"Someone" is putting quotes around the dates. Why not fix it there, where the delimited file is created?
That aside, have you tried what Kolusu suggested? |
