One of the advantages of using RPG xTools' CpyToCSV command is that you can
include column totals in the resulting CSV file.
What RPG xTools does is figure out which "column" the field to be totaled
corresponds to, and then insert the =sum(C3:C17) statement (with the proper
column/row ranges) into the output file. Excel imports it fine and figures it
out. Something like this:

CPYTOCSV  FILE(QGPL/CUSTSALES) +
            STMF('/cozzi/mystuff/sales.csv') +
            COLFUNC((SUM SALES))

If you don't have RPG xTools, you may want to do something similar using your
own tools.

Subject: Totals for a file to Excel

HI I have an old RPG program that creates a work file. I have to get this
file into excel but also the user wants me to provide various totals.
Rather than do this in excel i want to send the file to excel w/ the
totals already in.

I am having trouble gettting totals to the work file via the cycle so
thought to either write my own little RPG to do so, or perhaps to use
Query or SQL. So far in Query the totals are not showing. Not sure how
this works in SQL. Or is there a better way via Client Access. The thing
is, I found a tool we have here that does the excel part.
Thanks,
Steve
