RE: SQL - Generate Spreadsheet

(tip for extra lines in QSH, type an "18" then press F-14 )

This is handy, where did you find this gem and are there more gems to be
found ?

Thanks

thinking about other ways to create the xls....
If you have the IBM i on fairly recent PTFs the acsbundle.jar exists in
the IFS.

so you could run the following from qsh

java -jar /QIBM/ProdData/Access/ACS/Base/acsbundle.jar
/system=localhost
/PLUGIN=cldownload
/sql="SELECT SYS_DNAME AS LIBRARY,SYS_ONAME AS OBJECT,
OBJTYPE,USER_NAME,OBJ_AUTH,
OBJOPER AS OPR,OBJMGT AS MGT,OBJEXIST AS EXIST,
OBJALTER AS ALTER,OBJREF AS REF,
DATA_READ AS READ,DATA_ADD AS ADD,DATA_UPD AS UPDATE,
DATA_DEL AS DELETE,DATA_EXEC AS EXECUTE
FROM QSYS2.OBJECT_PRIVILEGES
WHERE SYS_DNAME = 'QSYS'
AND OBJTYPE = '*CMD'
ORDER BY SYS_ONAME,USER_NAME"
/clientfile=/tmp/put_your_file_name_here.xls
/colheadings=1

see the GettingStarted.html and look for "9.1.17 CLDownload" section

(tip for extra lines in QSH, type an "18" then press F-14 )

if interested in a CL, I had this bookmarked:
