Re: CPYTOXLS problem converting a field with ip address

I have no idea why the field PWRADR would have been defined with the
*HEX CCSID; an error perhaps.?

The field PWRADR has CCSID 65535 which indicates that no conversion
of characters should occur. Thus if the CPYTOXLS is honoring the
request, which from the output would appear to be the case, then the
data in the Excel file is EBCDIC being presented as ASCII. If that
feature has an option to treat *HEX CCSID as a default CCSID, then
activate that feature. Otherwise two other options are to:
- create & use a VIEW which effects for that field:
CAST(PWRADR AS CHAR(46) CCSID 37) AS PWRADR
- ALTER TABLE MyLib/DupOfQASYPWJ5
ALTER COLUMN PWRADR SET DATA TYPE CHAR (46) CCSID 37

Hi Everyone, I am having problem converting one field with ip address
information using the tool CPYTOXLS., which I use and it is great.

I do the following:

1- DSPJRN JRN(QAUDJRN) ENTTYP(PW) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILFMT(*TYPE5)
OUTFILE(mylib/crtdupobj of QASYPWJ5)

2- CPYTOXLS FILE(mylib/crtdupobj of QASYPWJ5) TOFILE(myfile.CSV)
TODIR('/mydir')

Looking the file via SQL I can see the IP address field fine, field name

is

PWRADR (QASYPWJ5 Remote address), but after converting with CPYTOXLS
tool, the field look more like this in excell:
