Hello,
I am attempting to use the API to run a report with multiple fields returned, some of which contain free text entered by end-users. Since users can enter commas and other common characters, I need a better delimiter.
The best would be a multi-character string like "_$BREAK$_" or something that no user would ever enter, but when I attempt to use any string more than one character long I get an error returned: "Attempt to use more than a single character as a delimiter"
Even a simple two-character delimiter like "qq" gets the same error.
I have also attempted to use a single special ascii character outside the normal keyboard set and get the same error.
Note the documentation for Delimeter clearly says it should allow multiple characters.
| Delimiter | Specifies the character(s) to delimit the column fields by (where comma is the default delimiter). |
I am using the .NET WCF implementation. As far as I can tell we are running version February 2013.
Thanks for your help.
Andrew
