Save the file from Excel in .csv format for the first thing - you
don't need to do the NotePad thing.

Then, use CPYFRMIMPF and specify FROMRCD(2). That will skip the heading line.

Try that, and check for error messages with the QCMDEXC technique.
Look in your job log.

Hi,

Could you please extend your help to me as I am stuck here with one issue.
This is the requirement. I have an excel sheet with some rows of data in
it. It is in .xls format. The first row is heading and second row onwards
are data. I need to copy this file to a physical file in AS400. For this, I
have opened the excel, copied the data to a notepad and I have put the
delimeters(,) after each field and saved it back as .csv. Now I used
Iseries navigator and placed this .csv file onto the location I want it.
Inorder to get the data onto a PF, I am changing an existing RPG program
which uses CPYFRMIMPF. with the help of QCMDEXC. But this command fails.
But when I try to enter the same command from command line it is copying
data to PF. The other issue here is with the heading. If I include
heading,only heading is coming in. But if I remove heading, then first row
alone comes in . Please let me know why the QCMDEXC fails when it runs
properly in command line. Second is if the excel has one row of heading,
how to deal with it? Then how do I copy multiple rows of data here? It will
be really helpful if u respond back..
