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

Aaron,

Would you please elaborate on this for me?

I have the same approach in place and the user perhaps could upload the file
directly to IFS instead of the NT box. So, if the user could upload a
correctly formatted spreadsheet to IFS through a web interface and then
issue a command on the iSeries...that would be great!! heck, I could even
make a .jsp file which could trigger off the iSeries command by clicking on
the link...So, the main thing here would be how would I ensure that the user
is uploading the correctly formatted data in the spreadsheet. I could make
the user issue a command from iSeries(command to run a java app) and it will
comeback unsuccessful with a message in qshell mode and then the user will
know that something is wrong. What do you think about that?

I appreciate all your help,

cheers,

Jake.
