To assert greater control over details of the output file formatting, you may optionally insert //XL directives into the CSV file. These should be at the top, before any data lines, except in the case of the //XL,SetRow directive, which may be inserted anywhere above the affected row(s).
The syntax for the //XL directives is a bit tricky, and differs from normal A-Shell conventions. See Notes on Syntax.
