James -
Depending on the version of iSeries Access/Client Access, there is a wizard in the "Data Transfer to iSeries" file transfer program that works well (or at least it has for me) - it actually creates the iSeries file for you and then uploads the data from the spreadsheet to the file it created.

Start the "Data Transfer to iSeries" application, then once you have selected the spreadsheet as the PC file name, click on Tools > Create iSeries Database File.

Regards,
Steve

Subject: Getting data into a PF from an Excel spreadsheet


Fellow Geeks:

Can anybody recommend a fairly simple way to get data from an Excel
spreadsheet into a physical file (given that we first create a physical
file with appropriate fields to receive the data)?

While the end-user is probably on V5, and might be a Host Servers shop,
let's for the moment assume that it has to work on a V4R4 box that is
*not* running Host Servers.
