Dots in Column headers??

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 13:58:57 GMT

My apologies if this question has already been asked/answered, I didn't find anything about it.
Is it possible to use dots in column headers in any of the TOS components?
I have to create csv files in which one of the column header has to be "Time.Flag". So far, I used tFileOutputDelimited with the last column header set with "TimeFlag" then I re-open the file with tPerl component and over-write the column header.
It works fine but I would really like to avoid using tPerl and would like to optimise the job as it takes un-necessary processing time.
Any help welcomed, thanks by advance.

Hello

Is it possible to use dots in column headers in any of the TOS components?

Unfortunately, it is not allowed to use a dots in column name.
Best regards

Such a bummer ... but very good to know indeed.
Any plans to change this feature? I would really like to be able to insert dots in my columns names ...
Thanks a lot.
