Last I knew, SMB service from z/OS was in fact just SAMBA. Given that
there would have to be some "churn" between the latest and greatest
SAMBA and what you have on z/OS, it would be an older and stabler
version. You might find that a newer release of SAMBA solves your
problem. A quick Google search for SAMBA and Excel did not teach me
anything, but you may have better results if you are familiar with the
keywords which fit this particular Excel function.
I would be interested to know if z/OS SMB was actually not SAMBA under
the covers.
When last I was an OS/390 user, there was a job running called
"lanserver" which I assumed was ported from OS/2. I got involved because
the folk near where I worked wanted to transfer data from Windows NT to
OS/390 and filesharing, they said, was dog-slow. I didn't put that to
the test, I just something else. The standard ftp client. Pushed the
OS/390 ftpd over a couple of times before I found how to specify MVS
filenames from the Windows client.
I think Samba then was around 1.4, I looked at it on OS/2, mainly so I
could provide information in my OS/2 pages. It wasn't until later I
switched to Linux.
