RE: Accessing iSeries data from OpenOffice

["Rick DuVall" <R_C_DuVall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

        What's wrong with cpytoimpf to a .csv file and open with open
office?  Have I missed a salient point?  I don't particularly like the
cpyto/frm stuff and use my own rpg for production stuff but for one-offs I
often use them...

Hi group,

At home I already use OpenOffice exclusively, but here at work I still rely
on the iSeries Data Transfer plugin for Excel if I need to download massive
amounts of data into a spreadsheet.

For small recordsets, I use the export to excel functionality in the Quantum
plugin for WDSCi, but once over a certain amount of data, it will crash
WDSCi (memory problems).

Has anybody been able to get iSeries data into an OpenOffice spreadsheet
directly?  Either through a data source or an OpenOffice database (probably
using JDBC)?

Thanks in advance,
