Cris,

The workstation agent can do that for you. I use it to automatically open excel 
on my pc whenever my sasjob has created my excel with ods.

Little sas example that creates an ASCII excel (with TRANTAB=ASCII) on z/OS. 
(RECORD_SEPARATOR=NONE and RUN; are neccesary to make it work):
ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP FILE=XML RECORD_SEPARATOR=NONE TRANTAB=ASCII
    OPTIONS(FROZEN_HEADERS='YES'
            EMBEDDED_TITLES='YES'
            SHEET_NAME='nice sheet name');

PROC PRINT DATA=something NOOBS;
RUN;

ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP CLOSE;

For details on the workstation agent look at 
http://gsf-soft.com/Documents/ISPF-CS.shtml

I use the following for the example above, where the excel is in USERID.EXCEL 
dataset:
 SET IPADDR = 10.x.x.x    (my pc ip address)
 WRITE CONNECTING TO WORKSTATION &IPADDR
 ISPEXEC WSCON IP(IPADDR) NOGUIDSP
 SET HVAR = EXCEL               (dataset USERID.EXCEL)
 SET WVAR = C:\TEMP\EXCEL.XLS           (where to place it on my pc)
 WRITE SENDING FILE &SYSUID.&HVAR TO &WVAR
 ISPEXEC FILEXFER HOST(HVAR) WS(WVAR) TO(WS) BINARY NOSTATS    (I use binary 
instead of text since TRANTAB=ASCII already made it ascii)
 WRITE OPENING FILE &WVAR WITH EXCEL
 ISPEXEC SELECT WSCMD(CMD /C START EXCEL &WVAR) MODAL        (the trick to open 
excel)

Hope it makes sense...

Erik.

Written 3270 emulators?

Any emulators out there that not only do the data xfer between mainframe and 
pc, but also kick off the pc software required to open the file?

When creating SAS graphs on MVS, I found all the stepx I had to take to view 
them on the pc quite annoying.
