ibm midrange - Fetching data from excel sheet in AS/400 -


i using as/400 reflections ibm. here question: how can data excel sheet transfered as/400 session. there should ble create macros add info ever needs inserted.

depends on requirements, multiple methods available,

transport,

  • ftp saved as400
  • odbc excel iseries
  • save file in ifs (e.g. /home/data). brings sheet in scope of as400
  • start client access emulator (tn5250), , use transport in program. can use external file describes format
  • start client access file transfer, , use external file descriptions

format,

  • save flat file, , use cpyf (*map, *drop) db2 table
  • as flat file db2 table 1 field (e.g. crtpf). table can processed iseries program, query/400 or sql
  • save csv , use command "copy import file (cpyfrmimpf)" or "copy stream file (not sure top of head, cpyfrmstrf)
  • save csv , use descriptor file import db2 table

setup,

  • directly excel (e.g. odbc)
  • with file transfer (e.g. save in excel, ftp, cpyfrmimpf)
  • script (e.g. use com functions in perl read excel, send as400)
  • other script (e.g. use excel function in python, write directly db2 (your iseries is) using db2 module

at least not last, use java jt400 toolbox. can access iseries , resources local pc.

you've many roads choose from. maybe important factor you're allowed on as400. e.g. may access machine db server, or can write as400 programs.
