The ExportGridToCSV (and ExportGridDataToCSV) procedures always export with a comma at the end of each line, meaning there is effectively an extra empty column on every export. Even the sample CSV export output image shown in your documentation for the ExportGridToCSV procedure, generated from the UnboundSimpleDemo, shows a comma at the end of each line (the extra empty column).
How can I use ExportGridToCSV without it including this extra empty column?

Hello Gordon,
There is no property to avoid creating this extra separator at the end of the line. However, the current behavior looks incorrect to me - there should be no separator there. I have forwarded this ticket to our developers for research.
