Thank you for your reply but I don't see the menu options that you specified above. Only options that I see under Edit menu are "Copy" and "Select All". Is it related to the version that I'm using (ver 3.0.15 build 9758)?
Yes, version 3.0.15 doesn't support editing in the Data Compare, it was added in a later version. If you update to the current version 3.3.3 it will allow you to edit .csv files in the Data Compare.
I installed the latest (ver 3.3.3) but the "Copy to Right/Left" option doesn't do anything. Also, I couldn't edit the contents directly even after selecting "Edit" option. Please help, what am I missing?
I found why it didn't work on my first case. It was because I had different column list in my first compare files. It'll be nice if I can push/merge columns as well.
Were you able to manually re-arrange your columns using the Session menu -> Session Settings, Columns tab? You can then click individual cells (which represent columns on the left or right) and move them up or down in alignment. Or are you running into a different issue? A screenshot may help.
The issue is that BC3 does not currently support any form of 'Add Column'. When you copy from files with different numbers of columns, we can align the columns and alter the aligned pairs, but not the unaligned columns. If your example was:
a,b,c,d,g vs. a,b,c,d,e,f
You should notice the g and e are copied, but the f is not.
Adding support for this is on our Customer Wishlist, but is still in the early design phases and will not likely be implemented soon.
