Customize CSV Column Header

Question

I am writing a program in COBOL that reads data from table and dumps it into a CSV file. My work definitions columns are defined as (for instance) FACILITYCODE. Below is the detail of of column:

Working Storage : WS-FACILITYCODE PIC X(04) VALUE "XYZ".

Program Definition: MOVE WS-FACILITYCODE TO ABI-FACILITYCODE.

When my program is written, the CSV header comes out as "Facilitycode." I want to change that to "FACILITY_CODE"

Code used to create the CSV PERFORM 800-WRITECSV-XYZINV.

A comparable exmaple in SQL world would be 'AS'.

Any suggestions please.

Thank you!

As everybody says, we need to know what PERFORM 800-WRITECSV-XYZINV. does...

but I have worked in a similar solution for write CSV files

  *...
  *acces to you table and it fills the variables WS-A WS-B and WS-C

  *build heather
   STRING "A"  ","
          "B"  "," 
          "C"         DELIMITED BY SIZE
      INTO WS-LINE
   END-STRING

  * write header
   WRITE FILE  FROM WS-LINE
   ...

Then for each file from the table, you can:

   INITIALIZE WS-LINE

  *build line whit the values
   STRING WS-A  ","
          WS-B  "," 
          WS-C         DELIMITED BY "SIZE" <-- it will print all spaces that each variable have 
      INTO WS-LINE
   END-STRING

  * write line
   WRITE FILE  FROM WS-LINE
   ...
