Field delimiters enclose each field value, and are necessary when a separator is present within the field. For example, if formatted numeric values include commas (for example, 2,000) use field delimiters so that the comma within the value will not be read as a separator. The choices are as follows:
-
None
Individual field values are not enclosed within characters (for example: Perry, Bryan, 2000).
Note:If you have formatted numbers that include commas in the file, do not select None.
-
Single Quote (‘)
Field characters are enclosed in single quotation marks. In the example, 'Perry', 'Bryan','2,000', the fields are separated with commas and delimited with single quotation marks.
-
Double Quote (“)
Field characters are enclosed in double quotes. For example, in “Perry”,”Bryan”,”2,000”, the fields are separated with commas and delimited with double quotes.
