Michael.

Although there is no pipe by default, I found a way you can possibly use pipe as an 'other' option.

1. Use 'csv' output as and 'advanced' output type

2. Select 'other as a separating character

3. Type the pipe   |  character in the customer separater field.

Give that a try...hopefully that will work for you.

Thank You Frank,

I was also thinking I can build the field in QlikView and then create an excel csv file with a single column.

All good options!
