      Hello Daniel.

Malfunction your code was caused by two things:

1. CSV file contains TeX problematic characters (eg underscore_ which is 
used only in math mode) - should therefore be set catcodes.
Correction is for example here:

\def\lineaction{
\catcode`\_=12
\catcode`\%=12
\catcode`\&=12
\catcode`\@=12
% etc...
\expanded{
\bTD\ssxx\Name, \Vorname, \Titel, \Bezeichnung \eTD
\bTD\ssxx\Mail \eTD
\bTD\ssxx\Raum \eTD
\bTD\ssxx\Telefon \eTD}
}

2. A simple parser that I wrote not process general CSV files (it not 
allow some items were in quotation marks and not others. That is, if you 
use within the field delimiter, must be ALL ITEMS quoted!) I modified 
the lines 16 and 198 your CSV table, which contained a single delimiter 
in quotes (instead of a semicolon delimiter, I used a comma)

I change 16. line from:

Bialluch;Kathrin;;Lehrbeauftragte;"KathrinBialluch@web.de; 
Kathrin.Bialluch@stimme-dortmund.de";;

to line:

Bialluch;Kathrin;;Lehrbeauftragte;KathrinBialluch@web.de, 
Kathrin.Bialluch@stimme-dortmund.de;;

and on 198 line I made the same correction ... (library interpreting 
more columns ...)

3. I modified the code so that the tables, the tables are split at page 
breaks.
eg:
\def\bfilehook{\setupTABLE[split=yes]\bTABLE}

Will now compile properly. I hope that everything will be OK ...
To Your address I am sending corrected files (as attachment) ..., to 
conference I am sending only plain text...
Rejoice in my library, I hope they will serve well ...

Hello Daniel.
Send me your source code (or minimal example which has an error) and CSV

Hi all,
I use the sancsv.lua libray by Jaroslav Hajtmar for the typesetting of a
 study guide at the German Department at Ruhr-University. By reading the
 data of csv-eile Textmate canceled with the following messages. The
 csv-file has utf-8 encoding.
