Re: Question on File Upload to iSeries

Chuck,

put a quote for the value, that will turn it into a character string.
I do not know how many rows or colums you have to correct, but I often use:
F2 (edit)-home (beginning of the cell-add quote.

You may use a function to make it character as well: I think it is
something like: =TEXT(<cell>;"000")

With regards,
Carel Teijgeler

Hi Folks,

We have an issue. We have an Excel file that needs uploading to the
iSeries. We have 3 alpha field, each 3A and the contents are numbers.

In Excel an example would be:

010 020 0

But when we translate this/save it as a CSV it turns into:

10 20

How do we fix this ?
