The only function built into VEDIT is {EDIT, Convert, CSV to Flat} which creates a flat file without delimiters. Since the fields in a flat file are all fixed-length, VEDIT's columnar operations can be used to delete, search/replace and perform other operations on particular fields.
Conversely, {EDIT, Convert, Flat to CSV} converts a flat file into a delimited CSV file.
There is no current or planned functionality for working directly with particular fields in a variable-length CSV file.
