Hmm... I regularly download files with over a million records using CA file transfer. The only problem with Excel that I know of is the 64K row limit. Otherwise I'd recommend using the Excel add in that comes with CA. What version of CA and Excel are you using, and what is your output format? If you're trying to download in Excel format, there may be a limit to the size that's smaller than the current one since CA supports some older Excel formats. You could download in DIF, CSV, or tab delimited form. If the 284K record file needs to be imported to Excel, you or your supplier will need to break it into smaller pieces at some point. Bill Gates did make some remark about 640K being enough for anyone that seems to apply here, although in this case enough is a bit smaller. <g> > -----Original Message----- > From: fiona.fitzgerald@notes.royalsun.com > [mailto:fiona.fitzgerald@notes.royalsun.com] > Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2001 3:34 AM > To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com > Subject: File transfer > > > > > Looking for ideas - one of our developers has promised to > send a supplier > 3 Excel files as e-mail attachments. > > When he runs Client Access Data transfer From AS/400 To PC, > it comes up > with an error window stating that the PC data file limit is 16,383 > records. > > The largest file has 284,895 records. > > Any ideas ?
