How to generate tabular data through MENU>VDF2XLS|.

Hi,

I have two queries.

1) I need to generate XLS file from VDF file through my java application so I am using MENU>VDF2XLS| command. But the output I am getting is in rows but my client needs that data in columns. Is there any option I can use to generate tabular data rather than in rows?

2) Is there any way I can generate CSV file?

I am using Vensim DSS for Windows Version 5.5d.

1) use a * after the savelist. See VDF2TAB in chapter 5 of the DSS reference supplement for details.

2) Not csv but vdf2tab is tab delimited and Excel can easily read the file.
