Jake, My suggestions. Create a new physical file that will contain all the fields you want to download (it doesn't have to be just one field or comma seperated). In this DDS of the new file, use the ALIAS tag to rename the fields to something more meaning full. i.e. ALIAS(EMPLOYEE_NAME) (When downloaded to Excel from Excel, this will be pulled in as the column heading. In Excel, (you may need to add in the "iSeries Access Data Transfer" if so see below) Click on Data, Then Transfer Data From iSeries. On the Transfer Request window, Select Create New, and include the headings. Press Ok, Put in the server name (ip address). Click Next Then specify the phyiscal file you want to download. Click Next Click Next. Save the transfer request, click finish to save it. iSeries Access Data Transfer Excel Add-in Tools --> Add-in On the Add-ins window, click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files\IBM\Client Access\Shared Select the file cwbtfxla.xll, Press OK iSeries Access Data Transfer now appears as an available Add-ins. Make sure it's checked and press OK Now, Transfer Data From iSeries should appear in the Data menu. Whenever there's a write to the detailed specs of the output, place a write to the new physical file too. If cwbtfxla.xll isn't in the same location as mine, then you may just need to search your computer for it. If you still can't find it, don't ask me. :)) Michael Schutte Work 614-492-7419 email michael_schutte@xxxxxxxxxxxx "Jake M" <jakeroc@xxxxxxxx m> To Sent by: "RPG programming on the AS400 / rpg400-l-bounces@ iSeries" <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> midrange.com cc Subject 04/10/2006 09:42 Re: Printing a report in MS excel. AM Please respond to RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries <rpg400-l@midrang e.com> Pro's, Good morning. I appreciate all the responses. I am not using any kind of SQL in this, so I do not know how useful some of the suggested packages would be. I am very comfortable with HTML so I can go that route but I have never done this before. All I am trying to do is to redirect the output of this program into a .xls file instead of creating a report like it does right now via O - Specs.I am attaching my code so that somebody can point me in the right direction. I really appreciate all the help. ************************************************************************************************************* H DftActGrp(*NO) H BndDir('MYBNDDIR') Ftaxacum8 iF E K DISK Fchtinvz iF E K DISK FQSYSPRT O F 132 PRINTER OFLIND(*INOF) C* /COPY QPROTOSRC,EDITOOLTST Dfutdat s d datfmt(*YMD) Dtestdt s d datfmt(*Ymd) Derror s 3 Dwk_htnum s 8 Ddate8 s 8 Ddate8n s 8 0 Dsv_htnum s like(ainvc) Dsv_ainvc s like(ainvc) Din_sacol s like(sacol) Din_sucol s like(sucol) Din_socol s like(socol) Din_tax s like(socol) Dtaxable s like(sactl) Dnontax s like(sactl) Dtl_tax s like(sucol) Dtl_taxable s like(sactl) Dtl_nontax s like(sactl) Din_invtot s like(htgds) Din_invtax s like(httax) Dtl_invtot s like(htgds) Dtl_invtax s 9 2 Dbase s like(sactl) Dshipstate S like(htscty) D cstzip S 70 D city S 35 D ste S 2 D zip S 9 D err 1 D pass S 1 D result S 52 C* C *entry plist C parm date8 C* C move date8 date8n C* /free // process by chtmst file (in date order) chain (date8n) chtinvz; dow %found(chtinvz) and not %eof(chtinvz); in_Invtot = htgds + htfrt + htmff5; in_invtax = httax; tl_invtot += in_invtot; tl_invtax += in_invtax; cstzip = htscty; result = ctstjsttst(cstzip:city:ste:zip:pass:err); // access taxacum8 and start loading information sv_htnum = htnum; chain (sv_htnum) taxacum8; dow %found(taxacum8) and not %eof(taxacum8); // accumulate taxes in_sacol += sacol; in_sucol += sucol; in_socol += socol; // get taxable amount if sactl<> 0 and taxable = 0; taxable = sactl; ENDIF; if suctl<> 0 and taxable = 0; taxable = suctl; ENDIF; if soctl<> 0 and taxable = 0; taxable = soctl; ENDIF; // get non-taxable amount if santl<> 0 and nontax = 0; nontax = santl; ENDIF; if suntl<> 0 and nontax = 0; nontax = suntl; ENDIF; if sontl<> 0 and nontax = 0; nontax = sontl; ENDIF; reade (sv_htnum) taxacum8; enddo; // output print information tl_tax += in_sacol + in_sucol + in_socol; if taxable = nontax; tl_taxable += taxable; clear nontax; else; tl_taxable += taxable; tl_nontax += nontax; ENDIF; in_tax = in_sacol + in_sucol + in_socol; base = taxable + nontax; if in_invtot <> base or in_tax <> in_invtax; Error = 'YES'; except prnt; else; error = 'NO '; ENDIF; clear in_sacol; clear in_sucol; clear in_socol; clear taxable; clear nontax; clear in_invtot; clear in_invtax; reade (date8n) chtinvz; ENDdo; tl_tax += in_sacol + in_sucol + in_socol; tl_taxable += taxable; tl_nontax += nontax; in_tax = in_sacol + in_sucol + in_socol; if in_invtot <> base or in_tax <> in_invtax; Error = 'YES'; except prnt; else; error = 'NO '; ENDIF; except lrprnt; *inlr = *on; /end-free OQSYSPRT H 1P 3 01 O OR OF O PAGE Z 75 O 70 'PAGE' O H 1P 2 O OR OF O 10 'invoice ' O 20 'state' O 30 'tax' O 50 'taxable' O 70 'non-taxable' O 95 'Mst-gds amt' O 115 'mst-tax' O E PRNT 1 O htsltp 4 O cs21sb 5 O ste 10 O htnum 21 O in_tax J 35 O taxable J 55 O nontax J 75 O in_invtot J 95 O in_invtax J 115 O error 125 O E lrPRNT 1 O tl_tax J 35 O tl_taxable J 55 O tl_nontax J 75 O tl_invtot J 95 O tl_invtax J 115 O* ************************************************************************************************************* Cheers, Jake.
