Create a Native LF over the S36 flat file using SST (sub string) to define
each fields.  Only problem is with packed fields.  Also all fields become
alpha, no numeric.  The other option is to write an RPG to select and
translate the records from the flat file to a Native work file that you then
translate.

One other approach is to write parsing macros in Excel. (Ugly at best.)

We have just completed a s36 to as400 migration. I cannot transfer the s36
files from the AS400 to a spreadsheet as it reads each record as one field.

Has anybody managed to do this

Regards
