Re: Output from PF to Excel XLS file in IFS

SEQUEL was used at IBM long before ASC had their product out. It's in Dare's book on database theory.

Four years later, IBMers Don Chamberlin and Ray Boyce published "SEQUEL: A Structured English Query Language," which became the basis for the SQL language...

from the article The Big Picture: IBM DB2 Universal Database and Data Management <http://www7b.boulder.ibm.com/dmdd/library/techarticle/0301jones/0301jones.html>

Probably better than SQUEAL. ;-)

Just to be absolutely clear: Are you talking about ASC's SEQUEL product and not IBM's SQL
product? I'm pretty sure it's the former, but I'm now working in a shop where people say "sequel"
instead of "S-Q-L" when we talk about IBM's SQL product. Drives me nuts.
