Hi,
id like to use another seperator in the Export-Mechanism than ",".
I mean the Export-Mechanism in the finish report "frameset?__report=(...)"
which exports the viewed data in .csv-Files.
Is it possible to change this seperator?
Bye Tom

Hi Tom,
Unfortunately, the comma is hard-coded to the
ReportEngineService.extractData method. This is something I don't like
either, because at least German Excel 2003 expects ";" as the separator
char. With "," all fields are displayed in just one column.
I found the following issue but it is marked as "won't fix":
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=163186
So at my customer's project, we decided to create a customized version of
the BIRT viewer servlets that uses ";" in case of a German locale.
Another related problem is that special characters like German umlauts
aren't displayed correctly in German Excel either. I haven't verified yet
but it seems to be related to the fact that, by default, UTF-8 encoding is
used which Excel seems to misinterpret. I assume that ISO-8859-1 would
work.
Hopefully, all these issues will be gone as soon as native Excel support
has arrived:

In the meantime, Liwen Chen was so kind to file and assign the following
bug, so if we're lucky this will be fixed soon:
