RE: MS Excel and MATCH function.

You can use VLOOKUP commands to perform the match in Excel if you can
put up with the matched data on the same spreadsheet.  The limitation is
that it only pulls one column at at time over.  You can then pull off
the matches into a third sheet if you like.

If you have Access available, I would consider importing the
spreadsheets into that and doing a simple query.  The import is pretty
seamless.

Hope that helps,

Jim

Well... I'm on the air with POI HSSF :-)

Read the first sheet to a workfile (a) on iSeries Read the next sheet to
a workfile (b) on iSeries Old fashion way: RPG prog. with MR (matching
record) New fashion way: RPG prog. with chain from (a) to (b) If
match/hit write down the matching record to the third sheet.

Down on earth:
I have contacted an expert in Excel-friend with your question. Hope to
come up with something tomorrow.

I'll let you know.

Leif
