Peter -

I haven't tried using it with the iSeries, but I don't believe that Open Office Base (the database) is ready for prime-time yet. I wouldn't waste my time trying to use it right now. I recently spent several weeks in my spare time playing around with Base. I was trying to convert some tables and queries that I had created in MS Access over to Base, but it repeatedly crashed on me when I was importing data into the Base tables when importing over a few thousands records, and it was also was incredibly slow during the import process.

I would follow Rick's advice and use cpytoimpf to copy the iSeries data to a csv file and import that into your Open Office spreadsheet.

Subject: Accessing iSeries data from OpenOffice


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,
