The syntax is:
HOLD FORMAT EXL2K BYTOC

You need WF 5.3 and Excel 2002 or higher I think.

Brian Carter gave a code example for handling large quantities of data at Summit. (It gets around the 65,000 row limit). I've included it in case you will find it useful:

TABLE FILE QAFOC03
PRINT F3SSN
COMPUTE COUNTER/I9 = COUNTER+1;
COMPUTE WORKSHEET/I4 = COUNTER/65500;
ON TABLE HOLD AS EXL65K FORMAT ALPHA
END
TABLE FILE EXL65K
PRINT F3SSN
BY WORKSHEET NOPRINT
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K BYTOC
END

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I have Excel 2000, which explains the problem I'm having.

I did not know about FORMAT EXL2K BYTOC

What would be great is to be able to burst an Excel report into multiple tabs in the same worksheet.

Francis,

That's exactly what it does - multiple worksheets in a workbook with each worksheet name bearing the value of the break field.

Sorry, I misunderstood, since cspowell asked how to create "multiple excel worksheets".

Will try it out.

Francis,

It's the old terminology thing again where some refer to the same thing by different phrases.

In this instance MS refer to their entire xls file as a workbook containing one or more worksheets (e.g. "tabs") Smiler
