Dear all,

To download spoolfiles to Excel file we use the following product.
Revive/IP from a company called Madec Computing Ltd.

For more information visit their web page www.madec.com.

> Dear all
> we often need to download spooled files because people want to work with
> them in Excel, Access or wherever.
> With the AS/400 Client Access we tried to do it in two ways:
> 1) Using "drag and drop" - just move the spooled file from the AS/400
> Operations Navigator Window to the desktop
> 2) View the Spooled file with the Viewer and then print (i.e. use an
> installed printer with the setting "print into a file")
> 
> In principle both ways work but
>    Using way 1) the last and only the last page of the report (i.e. of the
>    spooled file) is missing. If the report is only one page long it works.
>    Example for everyone to test: To create cycle count worksheets run
>    INV310 and BPCS creates two lists in the spool, INV531O1 and INV531O2.
>    If you try to download INV531O1 with drag and drop you'll see that the
>    last page is missing on the created textfile on the desktop. In my
>    opinion there is a problem with a control character, maybe with the
>    >>End of Report<<
>    Using way 2) in the Viewer you can see the last page of the report
>    (which could be very interesting for the problem above). Moving the
> file
>    to a printer the created text file contains only control characters. I
>    was always told that I use a wrong printer. I tried more than 20
>    different printers but the problem is not solved yet.
> 
> Note that this is only a problem concerning spooled files - we have no
> problem with  the download of physical files.
> The way to convert a spooled file to a physical file and do then the
> download is known but it's not the solution we're looking for! The users
> should be able to do a simple download with the Client Access.

> Maybe anyone has an idea how to solve one of the problems?!
