RE: Downloading Excel File to Physical File

Define the file on the AS/400 first, put in 1 dummy record and then
download.  Use the FDF it creates on the download for your upload.....

Then you can avoid the $#@%$% (been working with programs that have a
bucn of them today) program described file specs.
