For NEWLIST HEADER=CSVT allow for the setting of file type and file name

Using HEADER=CSVT on an emailed report the attached file has a TXT extension and a file name of CSDATAU.


CSVT means a comma delimited file with titles, why not create the attachment as a CSV extension, or allow the customer to set the extension.


When we have a number of reports with attachments it would be easier to set the file name in the CARLA code, versus renaming the file when trying to save the attachment.

    This issue is a real nuisance. Having to rename the file that I was just emailed from a TXT extension to CSV is embarrassing for me to my customers. Why don't I just create a usable file in the 1st place, instead of the recipient having to do it?


    Using the XML format for this is great, but XML has its own challenges with its restrictions (i.e. field names begining with $). Using CSVT I don't have to map most of my CSDATA segment fields that begin with a $, to new fields that are acceptable to XML.
