Re: Exporting to Excel

We use a product called cool spools. It's extremely easy to use, they have 
a free trial for 30 days, and the support is simply amazing.  It also does 
PDF's, HTML, TEXT, RTF, CSV as well as a TIFF and a couple other formats. 
It has command based prompting, or you can simply call the command via 
RPGLE that will run as soon as the reports are done.  It can do bookmarks 
in PDF, as well as splitting the spool file.  Very easy to use.  Takes 
roughly an hour or so to browse thru the manual, and then you are ready to 
go.  Pricing is good too.  I've attached a link to the website so you can 
check it out.  We are currently on version 4R1, the latest is 5R1.  I've 
got to evaluate the 5R1 to see what's changed before implementing into our 
system.

Exporting to Excel






Some of our users are wanting their reports exported to excel......I am 
sure 
I am not the first to have this request, so I would like to hear how 
others 
have accomplished this.

Thanks....
