RE: CA TRANSFER OF CSV,BAI OR XLS FILES (& KEYVIEW) -Reply

Let Excel create the AS/400 file for you via the shared folders, then
use the CPYFRMPCD command to copy the data into any native physical file
you want. The macro capabilities of Excel are all you need to write to a
mapped network drive on the AS/400. If you want even more macro to/from
AS/400 support, check out our ActiveX AS/400 objects at
