      Something like this?
      1. FileAccess to read the csv file
      2. DataIterator to read each line of the file
      3. Assign Node with Javascript to split each record by commas and massage the data as needed
      4. FileAccess to write the formatted data
      5. SysCommand to call 'importb' to load the data

        Here is one doc for IP designer version 10.
        Do a google search on Infor IPA, you may be pleasantly surprised.
