RE: Easiest and most functional way to convert selected spoolfilesinto Excel -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Yeah, that works for a data file - Dave was asking about spooledfiles. You'd need to use CPYSPLF or one of the spooled file APIsfirst to get things into a PF. CPYSPLF will put out a single columnfile - well, maybe it can use an externally-defined PF as the target- interesting possibility - to get fields. Anyway, it's morecomplicated, usually, when dealing with spooled files.

Did anyone mention CPYTOIMPF  (check spelling)...  this command will
copy a flat file to a CSV format file and put it in the IFS folder of
your choice.  CSV is readable by Excell.  CPYTOIMPF is free; comes
with OS/400.
