Re: AS400 to EXCEL

Booth,

In Excel, it still considers it a numeric value and drops the leading zeros
despite the presence of the quotation marks.  Silly, but true.
 
>"John Smith","001234"  

Not in Excel it doesn't.  The second cell will be right-adjusted and the value
displayed will be simply 1234.  Even applying a cell format of "text" at that
point will leave it as 1234 (albeit now left-justified).  So the leading zeros
are lost during the file open / import process.
