Hi Dave,

You might want to look into SQL2JXL from Giuseppe Costagliola's at McPressOnLine:

Just supply it with an SQL statement and it will produce an Excel spreadsheet. Then all you have to do is FTP it to the remote system.

Found the following is all that's necessary:
ftp '166.nn.nnn.nn'
userid
pw
na 1
put /home/dodom1/ivrobjs.csv ivrobjs.csv
So, the complete process is:
Run a DB2 Query Manager query with the output to an outfile.
Run CPYTOIMPF to move/convert the outfile to a CSV file in the IFS, i.e., /home/dodom1/filename.csv
ftp '166.nn.nnn.nn'
userid
pw
na 1
put /home/dodom1/ivrobjs.csv ivrobjs.csv
Automate the above via REXX and i5 scheduler or invoke the REXX program interactively from a screen. This allows you to run a Query Manager query, convert its output to CSV and move it to a server where those that "need" the i5 data in Excel or Access can have it.
Thanks,
Dave
