Some common fields, such as CPU_TIME and RUN_TIME, can have null or zero values depending on how the events are generated for a given feature. Sometimes, three quotation marks appear around event data containing special characters in the CSV file. The third quotation mark is necessary for tools and applications to parse the field data at the correct field value boundary.")
