RE: CSV File Creation to include Excel formula

Have you opened your CPYTOSTMF output in Notepad? Does it look correct?

Subject: CSV File Creation to include Excel formula

Hello,

Iam creating a csv file in the IFS.

Customer has told us that for certain cells, if blank must have =("") entered.

This value has been entered but Excel treats it as a string and not a formula.

Excel will recognise this formula when creating a file on the PC using Notepad.

Is this related to the codepage I am specifying?

CPYTOSTMF FROMMBR(&INFPS) TOSTMF(&OUTFPS) STMFOPT(*REPLACE)
STMFCODPAG(1252)

Regards,

Alan Starkey
