Hi James,

We use a product from Kemetech called CVTXLSDBF and CVTDBFXLS that does
all of the conversions from Excel to a PF and vice versa.

It is very inexpensive, I don't recall how much. We bought it years ago.

I works great.

Their web site is www.kemetech.com



Thanx,

Nick

Re: Getting data into a PF from an Excel spreadsheet

James -
Depending on the version of iSeries Access/Client Access, there is a
wizard
in the "Data Transfer to iSeries" file transfer program that works well
(or
at least it has for me) - it actually creates the iSeries file for you
and
then uploads the data from the spreadsheet to the file it created.

Start the "Data Transfer to iSeries" application, then once you have
selected the spreadsheet as the PC file name, click on Tools > Create
iSeries Database File.

We're not a Client Access shop. We stopped being one back when it was
still called PC Support.

Saving to a "prn" file was also a bust: it wouldn't generate long enough
records. Typical MicroSchlong.

This whole exercise is looking more and more like so much equine scat.

At this point, I'm going to find out why in the name of Hell we're even
getting this data as an Excel spreadsheet: I can't believe that was the
original form of the data.
