Re: Dump File

I did this recently.

To produce from a query and assuming that you are using a PC with CAE and have
access to an IFS (QDLS) drive on the AS/400
1.    Write the query output to a physical file.
2.    CPYTOIMPF to a .TXT file in the IFS with parm FLDDLM(X'05') (Hex TAB
Delimited).
3.    OPEN excel then from the File Menu click Open and select the .TXT file
from your IFS drive location.
4.    Allow Excel to convert the TAB delimited file to Excel format.

If you need to copy an existing spool file:
1.    CPYSPLF the existing report to a physical file.
2.    If you need to strip out any data, use query to select the required data
and write to another file
3.    CPYTOIMPF to a .TXT file in the IFS
4.    OPEN excel then from the File Menu click Open and select the .TXT file
from your IFS drive location.
5.    Allow Excel to convert the TAB delimited file to Excel format.

Beware that you are limited to an 8 char file name plus the .txt in the IFS.

EG.
CPYTOIMPF  FROMFILE(B604USRF/YOURFILE) +
                          TOSTMF('QDLS/YOURFLDR/YOURFILE.TXT') +
                          MBROPT(*REPLACE) RCDDLM(*CR) +
                          FLDDLM(X'05')
