I would discourage CPYTOPCD. One of the main issues for me is performance - the QDLS file system is relatively slow. And there are easier ways to get packed data translated. Alternatives include: 1. Client Access has an addin for Excel that downloads a file directly into Excel. 2. CPYTOIMPF can give you a comma-separated-variable (CSV) file directly from a physical file - or other delimited types. You don't need NetServer running for the first option but you need to pay for licenses to download data. The second works best if you have NetServer running, but it can be done with 'batch' FTP, with the PC requesting the file from the 400. > Greetings all. > > I am attempting to automatically create an Excel spreadsheet, or some > comparable format, file from an AS/400 file.
