Hi all you SQR Cats and Kittens!

I have a little issue with reading in a CSV file.  Sometimes the names have special characters like an n with a tilde (ñ) or an e with an accent (é).  When I this data gets read in via SQR, it gets changed to 2 special characters.

So this name looks like this in the CSV file

José Peña

When this is read in via SQR, it looks like this

The "read" statement looks like this:

read 1 into $line:32000

It reads it into this $line variable and then parses out the data.

Howdy, Stranger!
