custom delimiters in open foreign data is not available
If you have a data set that uses ; as delimiters the file doesnot read properly
This bug was in the beta version and remind in the commercial version 7

You're right. Something has gone wrong with the dialog somewhere along the line.

We'll fix it so it works again in the next EViews patch.

Note that you can still use semicolons as a delimiter from the command line. eg.

Code: Select all

wfopen semicolon.txt delim=;
