RE: Sending column headings to a CSV file

This whole process is being automated. The user clicks on one
SEQUEL/Viewpoint icon, plugs in some dates, submits it to batch, and the
SEQUEL script takes over. In a few minutes, data is harvested by SEQUEL from
6 different System i machines and processed in the central site. Then it's
FTP'd to the bank with an SSL connection.

There is one RPG program in the mix, which does something SEQUEL won't do
for me.

Hi Paul,

If they are asking for headings, it sounds like they will eventually be
using this in Excel.

We are using a product from Kemetech called CVTDBFXLS that creates an
Excel spreadsheet from the data on the system i. You have the option of
including headings with it.

It works great, and is really cheap.

HTH.


Thanx,

Nick

Sending column headings to a CSV file






List,

I am working on a project where we will be sending data to a banking
institution (which shall remain unnamed). The bank's systems apparently
require that the first record in the file they receive must contain column
headings!

Anybody know of a way to accomplish this without having to do RPG
programming? The client wants to avoid using programs wherever possible.
