I have been trying to output a csv file using the export command with delimiter ",".
However I encountered a restriction whereby the prefix zero value is truncated.
For example a value "0006577" turn out to be "6577".
Any kind soul out there able to provide some help.
 
I wouldn't use the export. I use PUT stream UNFORMATTED. Also, I've found it better not to use commas as separators. Sometimes there are commas in strings that you are outputting, and it throws things off. I usually use a |.
