Automatically enclosing all fields in a .csv file with double quotes for ClearQuest import

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains a process using a Microsoft Excel macro to enclose all fields of a .csv file in double quotes for importing into IBM Rational ClearQuest.

Symptom

Text files not created using the ClearQuest Export tool, might not be formatted correctly for use by the ClearQuest Import tool. The import file must have all fields enclosed in double quotes and separated by a comma (other acceptable delimiters are tab, pipe, semi-colon or colons).
