Re: Import Excel file

Hi Bryan

I took another look at the upload transfer option - it seems you can transfer data from an XLS or XLSX file with it - you have to create a DTTX file that has the info needed, like XLSX file name and all. Those are just text files, so it might be possible to generate them on the fly.

I've not done this, just gleaned what I could from the interface you get in ACS emulator actions - Data transfer to IBM i.

Hi Bryan

I know there is a way to create an XLSX file from a table or SELECT statement using ACS (/plugin=CLDOWNLOAD or the like) - I did not know there is anything for the reverse, I don't see it in the Getting Started documentation. I'd love to hear there is something there.

Cheers

If you have ACS “installed” in the IFS there may be the opportunity to use the batch upload process.

I’ve not tried running batch upload from the IFS, but it seems it should be possible.

Hello sages

I need to adapt a process that imports (CPYFRMIMPF) a tab delimited file
So that it imports an Excel file.

Is there an equivalent CPYFRMEXLF ?  (-:
Or perhaps a method to programmatically convert excel into  a Tab delimited
/ | delimited file ?

TIA
