If you prefer not to write your own code you can just copy-and-paste the PROCwriteCSV procedure from the Wiki; you do not need to understand it! The only disadvantage of simply taking the code from the Wiki is that it assumes your data will be in the form of a 2-dimensional string array:

Code:
      DIM array$(rows%,columns%) 

so if your data isn't already in a suitable form you will need to convert it.

The advantage of writing your own code would be that you get to decide the format in which the data is held. If you need more information on the Comma Separated Value file format this Wikipedia article has details:
