You can load CSV data in the CICS PA plug-in in
three ways: using copy and paste, by dragging and dropping, or using
the import function of the CICS PA plug-in.
Note: Using an application other than the CICS PA plug-in to
make changes to the CSV file might cause errors and make the data
unusable by the CICS PA plug-in.
