Hmmmm ...

Not directly ... but you COULD write a "DIF" file and download that.

On second thought, there are other ways; you can output to HTML (from within
RPG) and Excel and directly read that, formulas included. You write a CGI
program on the 400 (you can use RPG, no problem) and then set up a "Web
Query" for Excel, the URL pointing to the CGI program. The results show up
in the spreadsheet, formulas and all. Slick.

Does anyone know of a way to download information from the AS/400 that
would include formulas that Excel would recognize?
