Re: Output from PF to Excel XLS file in IFS

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

SEQUEL was used at IBM long before ASC had their product out. It's in 
Dare's book on database theory.

Four years later, IBMers Don Chamberlin and Ray Boyce published "SEQUEL: A 
Structured English Query Language," which became the basis for the SQL 
language...

from the article The Big Picture: IBM DB2 Universal Database and Data 
Management 
<http://www7b.boulder.ibm.com/dmdd/library/techarticle/0301jones/0301jones.html>

Probably better than SQUEAL.  ;-)
