Re: BPCS reports

For simple downloads from the AS400 to Word or Excel I have installed a
product called Winspool for several clients. It is a Windows based GUI that
looks at either OUTQ's or users spooled files. A simple mouse click then
downloads it to the desktop, and will open the file in multiple formats such
as Word, Excel, PDF, HTML, txt, etc..It also had a tool with it called Data
Import that let you format a report, strip out headings, select/omit
fields/columns and save that definition as a 'mask'. Winspool can use that
mask when downloading to format reports. Masks can be shared on the network.
Pretty cheap too, I think around $1,500 bucks, unlimited users on the same
Lpar.RJS Software is the vendor, they have many cool AS/400 and Windows
based utilities.

Does anyone know of an inexpensive way to convert a BPCS report to an EXCEL
spreadsheet ? Don't get enough requests to invest in expensive software but
every time someone requests it, it's a challenge. Any recommendations would
be greatly appreciated.
