We're on AS/400 Model 170 with V5R1, due to BPCS cost-prohibitive to upgrade, and I'm limited to native/400 & maybe shareware if I can get it uploaded.
I got an Excel from another company.
We want to import some columns to a PF/400, to eventually match similar data.

I wrote some VBA code to allow fast updates of the Lot Master's expiration date. The user downloads according to their criteria, then modifies the expiration dates as necessary and then uploads that data.

Once I figured out the correct syntax for the upload (I'm so used to downloading) it wasn't involved at all.

I prefer this method because there isn't any intermediate files used at all, the data table is directly modified. No worries about delimit character problems, nor character versus numeric data, etc.
