RE: [BPCS-L] Data migration

Yup- as far as everyone knows here you can ONLY bring ISeries (bpcs) data to 
Microsoft. IT DOES NOT GO THE OTHER WAY, EVER.

Two of us here know my last statement is a mistruth for exactly the reasons Al 
pointed out; reverse direction is suicidal.

Warning ... this can be VERY DANGEROUS if you not know EXACTLY what you 
doing ... not with the data transfer between PC and 400, but with the BPCS 
files.  The data structure assumes that many files will be in 
synchronization with each other and with the external file layout.  If you 
tamper with that, without going through the regular program structure, you 
can cause all of BPCS to crash.

We do BPCS data to XL all the time, but I consider the reverse direction to 
be so suicidal that I keep it a secret from most of my co-workers.
