You might need nothing more than a CSV file like others mentioned, so ignore this post if you want.

I've been making scripts for years that create CSV files from various data sources, but I soon found myself updating them on my PC by hand and saving as XLSX so I can format the cells, add colors, fonts, etc.

Later I just said heck with that and started sending data directly to an XLSX file with formatting by the script. It takes some learning, but is getting easier for me and the result is a finished document with no hand editing needed.

I use php on Linux or Windows with the PHPExcel package. All free and pretty-well documented. If I want to do something like change a cell color, I just google and a sample pops up. Probably other scripting languages have similar free packages too.

Hello

I am looking for a freeware or any sample program which can covert my
mainframe file into an excel file.
Just to be clear we don't have SAS or any seperate tool to achieve this.

Is there any working solution who can point me in the right direction?
