RE: Exporting reports to Excel

There are many tools that will allow you to map spool files into excel;
Revive Paris, BCD Tools and many others. NGS software will create
reports and write them directly into excel.   On an ad hoc basis, you
can drop your spool file into a text file, and then import it into
excel.  We took the approach of using .net to read "printer ready" data
files and write them into excel for distribution on our server.

Subject: Exporting reports to Excel

We are needing to export some of our reports to excel, I would
appreciate 
any feedback from those of you who have accomplished this either with
rpgle 
coding, third party tools, or something else that might be beneficial to
us.
