Blaise To ASCII - Adding a row of Field Names to the top of the ASCII file?

I just had a (relatively simple) request. It's something I've done a million times in the past with other software tools, but I've yet to try it in Blaise. Not sure if it's most easliy done in Manipula, or Cameleon, or ...

I've done Blaise-to-ASCII dumps before, creating data files both with and without comma-separated values.

For instance, using one of Fred's recent examples ...

I can create a file that looks like:

Sneezy,1,1
Sleepy,2,2
Dopey,3,5
Doc,4,7
Happy,5,1
Bashful,6,2
Grumpy,7,5

Or like ...

Sneezy11
Sleepy22
Dopey35
Doc47
Happy51
Bashful62
Grumpy75

But now I've been asked to create a file that looks like:

Name,Favourite,Activity
Sneezy,1,1
Sleepy,2,2
Dopey,3,5
Doc,4,7
Happy,5,1
Bashful,6,2
Grumpy,7,5

That is, a file whose first row consists of the Field Names, separated by commas, followed by the rows of data, whose values are also separated by commas.

Any thoughts, ideas, (or code) on how to do this in Blaise?

There is a setting for this in the OUTPUTFILE section in Manipula. It is called HEADERLINE. If you specify HEADERLINE=YES you get what you want. It is available in version 4.8 and higher.

Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for.

Is this documented anywhere? I'm running Blaise v4.8, but my Developer's Guide is v4.5 and my Reference Manual is v4.1.

Is there v4.8 documentation available?

Looks like I need to break my habit of looking at old PDFs and start looking at the 4.8 Online Assistant instead.
