Hi,

I know WF 7.6 allows to create worksheets in the excel file on the mainframe. How can I do it?

I had tried to use SET COMPOUND, it didn't work.

Thanks

May did specify "mainframe" and by that I assume IBM Mainframe FOCUS. The suggested example does not work on mainframe FOCUS.

(FOC002) A WORD IS NOT RECOGNIZED: OPEN

Compound EXL2K reports are not available in FOCUS 7.3.5. Compound PDF reports are available and the example will work for PDF, but I'm not sure how you would access this PDF report when the fex is run via a mainframe job.

quote:
Creating Compound PDF or PostScript Reports
Compound reports combine multiple reports into a single PDF or PS file. This enables you
to concatenate reports with styled formats (such as PDF, HTML, PS, or EXL2K). You can also
embed image files in a compound report.
The first PDF or PS report defines the format for the concatenated report, enabling you to
intersperse intermediate reports in other formats into one encompassing report. Using
compound reports, you can gather data from different data sources and combine reports
into one governing report that runs each request and concatenates the output into a single
PDF or PS file.

I do some stuff on the IBM mainframe, running batch jobs. I save the output as FORMAT TABT, which is attached to an e-mail. I call the attachment a .xls file.

When the e-mail with the file arrives, the .xls causes windows to do an open with EXCEL. EXCEL recognizes the format and opens the file, properly.

You can not do any formatting Frowner but you don't have to send the data as a binary Smiler

Thanks Francis.

So, should I use 'HOLD FORMAT AS TABT OPEN'?
