Problem with AS/400 data transfer to Excel

JDK — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 23:22:59 +0000

I have been downloading AS400 query files to Excel spreadsheets for many years using the Data Transfer utility in Client Access. There has never been any problem. Now suddenly all of the output data has started transferring to Excel as long hexadecimal strings and is unusable. I asked the IT folks if anything had changed that might account for this but the answer is always “no”. Since this is affecting BOTH my office PC and my laptop simultaneously, I have to believe that this has something to do with the AS400 rather than the individual Client Access installations but I am not sure. I have tried both existing queries and output files and Excel files as well as created brand-new ones. I have Googled this problem and searched the IBM support site for hours and, although I have found some references to this issue, I haven’t found a satisfactory solution. A colleague has had this problem for quite some time and no one has ever been able to fix it for him. But he and I work on completely separate queries and spreadsheets. I have tried the transfers both with and without the “Convert CCSID 65535″ box checked in the Data Transfer program and while that does indeed translate from hex into English, every record is in a huge single-column text string. I tried the Excel “text-to-columns” function but in some of my bigger files, the precision required to parse these records is just too much for this manual process. I have some very large projects to complete and I really need to get these Excel files into a usable condition quickly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

AS400 Flat file data comparison on Window based third party tool like Examdiff Pro

Kapiltiwari — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 11:07:23 +0000

My system gets data in flat file for booking.Once the booking is completed , customer sends some corrections data in other flat file. I have to compare both flat files data in window based comparison tool like EXamdiff Pro . if sent correction notes is ok, then update the physical files.

example Original flat file 1 :

HDRINTT BKGS300 E2011020711 ID PCABBDL00 PNACHIW RFGTUSOAK0222516 RFINUSOAK0222516 RFBKPCABBDL00

received revised flat file : HDRINTT BKGS300 E2011020711 ID PCABBDL00 SNACHIW RFGTUSOAK0222516 RFINUSOAK0222516 RFBKPCABBDL00

so SNACHIW is new value at ID level . PNACHIW shud be updated with SNACHIW.

differences shud be highlighed in Comparison tool so that use can ignore and update changes.

Plz suggest the way to proceed. My system gets data in flat file
