RE: excel to as400

Yes. What it appears to be is either numeric in alpha or alpha in numeric.. 
   
  Would it make it easier to make everything alpha. then once I get it to the 
400. have a program to convert flds I want to be numeric?

Does the error message tell you the row number with the incorrect data?

Subject: [MAPICS-L] excel to as400


Morning everyone.

I am trying to take an excel spreadsheet that I initially created from the
400 with data. Some data was keyed inot columns that I provided. When I try
to transfer the spreadsheets back to the 400 I am getting errors that data
in this field is incorrect or does not match the PC data type. I think what
has happened is the users keyed into a flds that they were not meant to. I
have tried using the data transfer off the client access session. I have
also tried using the data transfer option on the speadsheet itself. Neither
works.
Hope this makes sense.....

Is there a way to prevent this???

Thanks in advance...
