RE: iSeries Data Extract tools

The iSeries PC-Engine by Turbogorilla (http://www.turbogorilla-software.com
might be something you could use to, say, initiate an FTP session on the
User's PC to download the DB2/400 file from the iSeries to the PC. 

Or you could open MS Excel or MS Word or MS Access program FROM the iSeries
using your own RPG or COBOL program(s) and then let the Word, Excel or
Access application on the PC Autorun a macro (it's really simple to autorun
a macro when WORD or Excel opens!) from the document or spreadsheet on the
PC to download the iSeries file into your document/spreadsheet/access
database.

Installation is a piece of cake and you can even perform a silent install
across a network for easier deployment on a large scale operation. 

It's fairly inexpensive too, with only the one price licensing structure, so
if cost is a factor, then this might be something to consider.

Hi all,

I have a request from a customer for a simple to use PC product for
extracting data from 1 or many iSeries tables and mapping/selecting fields
to a text file or other PC data format types like .csv.

Cheers
Robin
