Hi Nick,

The fields in the iSeries file are alpha. So in the Excel file they enter
them in as "general" so it's not a numeric field. Then when we save this
Excel file as a file type .CSV for upload to the iSeries file so it works OK
- normally. But in this case there are these character fields with leading
0's (zeros) and when you save it as a .CSV it drops these zeros and left
justifies the rest.

Thanks,

Chuck

Chuck,

When you say you have alpha fields with number for content, are you
meaning within the spreadsheet, the iSeries table, or both?
