Don:

If you have wIntegrate, terminal emulation and host-based application,
you can accomplish your task.  I did, but it was about five years ago.
Maybe a current wIntegrate user could chime in.

Subject: RE: UniVerse to excel feeds

Don:

I have written a program called BEXCEL which takes in a command, formats
a
csv file, and then uses an ftp process (we have pi/open on hpux) to send
this file to a place where the users can open it.  For example, the
command

BEXCEL INMATE | LNAME FNAME MNAME DOB AKA.LN AKA.FN | IRPT1 | ALL | Y

reads the INMATE file then outputs a file named "myloginIRPT1.csv" with
columns LNAME, FNAME, MNAME, DOB, AKA.LN, and AKA.FN to the designated
network site via an ftp transfer.  The AKA fields are multivalued and
are
handled.  All records were selected, but in the place of 'ALL' one could
have put the name of a select list.  The final parameter Y means to put
a
space between records in the csv file.

I have the companion programs HEXCEL, which outputs a .htm file for your
browser and has additional parameters to specify headlines, and TEXCEL
which
is the interactive version where users enter file name, fields desired,
etc
for Ad Hoc reporting.

I have embedded calls to BEXCEL in a few programs ("send report to
Excel")
and it works fine.

There is a little 'local' coding in each of these, but I will be happy
to
take that code out.

You do need to set up a couple of VOC entries (easy) and also set up the
ftp
process to get the file automatically sent to the desired network
directory
(I needed my network guys to do this for me).

Free if you would like to take a look.

Hi All,
        We are looking for a process, where a report run in UniVerse can
feed direct into excel, with no human action being taken - or as little
as
possible. If you have a process or tool where you can do this, and are
willing to share this information, please e-mail. We are on UniVerse
10.0.19
and AIX 5.2

        Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
