Re: Sending a user results of a query

Hi Mike,

It sounds like you've already got the query, and that it produces a spool
file, is that correct?  And you'd rather just send the data to the remote
users so they can import it into Excel and print it from there?

If so, change the output of the query to a file, then write a simple CL
program to RUNQRY and CPYTOIMPF. You could email (SNDDST if you have SMTP
set up on your AS400) or batch FTP (see the FAQ) the resulting file.  If
they're not too remote (i.e. they're on your LAN), you could do the
CPYTOIMPF to /QNTC.
