I have a Q&D Rexx exec that was work I did to create an XML file for use in Excel. It opens just fine in Excel 2007 & higher, and I think in 2003 with the the 2007 compatibility patch. This is not a clean program, no doc and some options are coded as variables rather than options, so they were real work in progress. There are 2 versions, a less developed turn a fixed length file into XML, and a version you pass a DB2 select statement, and it turns the resulting output into an XML file. eg DB2XML SELECT * from mytable will turn the table mytable into an XML file. The DB2 version is much more flushed out, but probably has Marist specific things in it. They both are very much early works in progress. If you are interested, I can send you either or both of them. >Regards, >Richard Schuh /ahw
