lnSuccess = loCsv.SetColumnName(0,"year")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetColumnName(1,"color")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetColumnName(2,"country")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetColumnName(3,"food")

lnSuccess = loCsv.SetCell(0,0,"2001")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetCell(0,1,"red")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetCell(0,2,"France")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetCell(0,3,"cheese")

lnSuccess = loCsv.SetCell(1,0,"2005")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetCell(1,1,"blue")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetCell(1,2,"United States")
lnSuccess = loCsv.SetCell(1,3,"hamburger")

* Write the CSV to a string and display:

lcCsvDoc = loCsv.SaveToString()
? lcCsvDoc

lnSuccess = loCsv.SaveFile("out.csv")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loCsv.LastErrorText
