Comma Separated Values file are Host Operating System Files that store the data in a spreadsheet or the entries in a FileMan file. The format was created by Lotus-123.

The values of each column (field) are separated by commas. When the value is a string of characters, the values are surrounded by double quotes. (double quote is the ASCII Characters number 34).
