import fails to get a comma

[John Esak]

Tony,
All you need to do is this:

     if:
   then: filename = xlate(filename,",",":")

Just before you use it in the IMPORT command.

John Esak

P.S. - Note: the variable "filename" represents a declared variable that
holds your original filename with the comma in it. This could also be a
regular 2 character variable like AA.
