Re: Getting a file to excel

Be careful with attempting to put data into an excel spreadsheet.
One of the problems we have (and if anyone can post an answer to this, we
would be very grateful), is that a credit card number is held in a 19 digit
numeric field. Once this field is placed into an excel spreadsheet, excel
will only display the first 15 numbers, 0 filling the rest - NO MATTER what
the rest is.
I know this is a problem with excel, but, like I said,  if anyone has an
answer....

HI What are some of the methods in taking a file that was generated by an
RPG program and getting it to the user in an Excel Worksheet file?

It seems to be a straightforward file. Is there a preferred method. Any
issues w/ v5.3 and the client access ?

Thanks,
Steve
