Al,
When I need to do something like this, I use one of two methods:

1.) Get the file from the other company in a pipe ( | ) delimited text
file, and save it to a folder on the IFS. Then use
CPYFRMIMPF to import it to a file on the AS/400.

2.) If you have to use the excel sheet, try this:

A.) Have the user delete all headings, total lines and unwanted
columns. Also remove all cell formatting.

B.) Save the resulting file to a folder on the IFS as a .CSV and use
CPYFRMIMPF to import it to a file on the
AS/400.

I have heard that there is a way to use POI to read the sheet and pull
out what you want, but I have never tried that. However, I did find this
link to the FAQ that may help if you want to go that direction.

We're on AS/400 Model 170 with V5R1, due to BPCS cost-prohibitive to
upgrade, and I'm limited to native/400 & maybe shareware if
I can get it
uploaded.
I got an Excel from another company.
We want to import some columns to a PF/400, to eventually
match similar data.

What alternate ways are available to accomplish that?
FTP CA IFS
Ops Nav in reverse
Can I SEU/PDM a cut & paste into a PF?
Where's those ways how-to documented?

You could point me to a recent thread I did not pay
attention to at the time.

I would also like a technique that is easy for use by non-technical
co-workers & safe.
I don't want a co-worker inputting such a file to overlay good stuff.
