Re: MS Excel ====>> iSeries.

["Jake M" <jakeroc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,
I am attaching a sample excel file which is supposed to be uploaded. I do
not think it is too complicated but please me know your thoughts on it. Now,
if I want to use the CPYFRMIMPF to import the file to DB2 from java
program...I can do it very quickly from a .java app from my pc but how would
an end user accomplish that? Do you think I can create a java app where the
user can do something like this on iSeries..

'CALL UPLOADPROG('myxlfile.xls')'

and bam!!! the data gets uploaded but again....what if the user tries to
upload badly formatted data? Well, I guess the program won't execute and the
user will know...Will that be a good approach?

I appreciate your help.

cheers,

Jake.
