RE: Getting a file to excel

How about using a single directory but using the CHGAUT command to allow
only the creating user access to the document?? 


Thanks,

Yes, we have a default user for our file transfer utility that uses
QNTC, but in this case, mapping to end-user folder destinations would
need to be defined for hundreds of users.  We're concerned that each
user's output should be secured from access by all other users,
requiring a unique destination for each user.  We *could* go this way,
but network support group does not want to manage this....

What I did here to get around user access issues is create a userid that

exists on both the AS400 side and the PC server side.  On the AS400, the

job that creates the spreadsheet is run using this userid.  It writes
the 
spreadsheet to a folder on a pc server using the QNTC in the IFS.  I
just 
have to tell the network admin that this user needs access to that
folder.
