Re: Getting data into a PF from an Excel spreadsheet

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.

We're not a Client Access shop. We stopped being one back when it was still called PC Support.

Saving to a "prn" file was also a bust: it wouldn't generate long enough records. Typical MicroSchlong.

This whole exercise is looking more and more like so much equine scat.

At this point, I'm going to find out why in the name of Hell we're even getting this data as an Excel spreadsheet: I can't believe that was the original form of the data.
