Using the File BizComponent and writing a csv file, the bizcomp does not take into consideration commas within fields. This data should be quoted in the output file.

Testcase attached.

    We had this logic in the old Excel bizcomp, but never in the FileBizComp. This support makes sense, but will need to be a feature request.

    The work-around would be to use a functoid on fields that potentially have this problem, which would quote the data appropriately. It may also be possible to always quote all fields, for some applications.
