Re: AS400 to EXCEL

Booth,

>Would Excel then decide that all the columns are character, and

No.  It looks at it a cell at a time, not per column, unless you are using the
import wizard to set column types.  For example, this input:

"Field1","Field2"
"ABC","DEF"
"XYZ","123"

results in cell B3 having the numeric value 123.  Turn around and resave the
file, and the third row is written as:

"XYZ",123
