This file describes the format for the SCTS export file 3.7 - scts.csv The file is a CSV (comma separated variable) file. All values (even empty ones) must be enclosed in quotes(""). Each line (record) of the file must be properly terminated with a CRLF (carriage return and line feed, ASCII characters 13 and 10 in decimal, 0D and 0A in hex). Each line (record) is made up of 103 variables (fields) in the prescribed order. A complete list of variable is shown below. The first number is the position of the variable followed by a comma then a tab, the next number is the dataset number, then a hyphen, followed by the field description, followed by a full stop then the datatype.
