Does it really have to be a .csv? What about .slk?

It's not that tough to create what you need directly with from filepro...

ID;PSCALC3
C;X1;Y1;K"01"
C;X2;Y1;K2
E


Verbal explanation..
line1) Header. Seems to be consistent
line2) Put the text value "01" in A1 (x1,y1) cell
line3) Put the numeric value 2 in B1 (x2,y2) cell
line4) End of file

You get full control... put stuff where you want. Excel knows what to do with file.

.slk opens up in ExcelXP and OpenOfficeCalc 2.0 for me.

Or start developing in frameworks that *natively talk* .pdf/.xls/.doc ...
