Brian,

regarding your second question,  you could always use the Jakarta POI 
classes to output a "real" excel sheet, and have the user pick it up
from 
the IFS, or mail it to him/her.

Alternatively, you could output to a workfile, and have the user import
it 
into excel using the iSeries Access data transfer add-in.

Writing a CSV


Hi All,

 

When I use an SQL statement to obtain information to a database, do I
need to create a cursor in order to write the data to a subfile?  Is
there a way to do something like a DoW not %eof(SQL returned records)?

 

The other question I have regards writing a CSV file.  Right now, we
have a null device where all of our "scratch" data is written (PRT01).
One of the users on our system needs to have the results of a query
written to a file that will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet.  I was
planning on simply writing the file to our scratch drive and have them
grab the print file using Navigator.  Does anyone know if there is a
better way to do this?

 

Thanks!



Brian.
