Re: Got an XLS spreadsheet. Need a DB2/400 file. What's the easiest way to get from one to the other?

[Jim Franz <franz9000@xxxxxxxxx>]

if not have ACS , build a file with columns that match the .xls , save .xls
as a .csv  and then cpyfrmimpf

    CPYFRMIMPF FROMSTMF('/bncf/usr/XXX_LIST.csv') +
               TOFILE(XXXLIST) MBROPT(*REPLACE) +
               RCDDLM(*CRLF) RPLNULLVAL(*FLDDFT)
