How to change the format in the application server

Question

The following is the uploading file in the application server:
Directory:  /usr/sap/tmp
Name:       ZMIRACA_SD27_LIUNIN_20070109_111913.csv
,0,000,ZMAT_TERRY,,19.12.2006,test material by terry,
,0,000,ZMAT_TERRY,,19.12.2006,test material by terry,
I click the menu System->List->Save->Local file->Spreadsheet and give a name: a.csv, then I open "a.csv", I find ",0,000,ZMAT_TERRY,,19.12.2006,test material by terry,,,EXTERNAL P,1.000,000,EA,," in one cell,but I want to separate them in different cell according to comma. Do you have some idea?
Thanks in advance!

HI Nina
Have created a CSV file myself on application server using the following example code:
parameters: fname type filename obligatory lower case.
data: it_t001 type table of t001.
data: str type string.
field-symbols: <wa>, <fld>.
select * into table it_t001 from t001.
open dataset fname for output in text mode encoding default.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
   write:/ 'Unable to open file.'.
else.
   loop at it_t001 assigning <wa>.
        clear: str.
        do.
          assign component sy-index of structure <wa> to <fld>.
          if sy-subrc ne 0.
             transfer str to fname.
             exit.
          elseif sy-index = 1.
             move <fld> to str.
          else.
             concatenate str <fld> into str separated by ','.
          endif.
        enddo.
   endloop.
endif.
After executing the program, have checked the file using following methods and i dont have any problem:
1. FTP transfer to PC.
2. AL11 -> Display -> Menupath: System->List->Save->Local File->Spread Sheet
3. Transfer via transaction: CG3Y.
In all the cases, the values are in separate cells. Please verify.
Kind Regards
