You might look at Cedarville Download (ftp.cedarville.edu). Its a free utility written in UD/UV Basic that will output CSV, HTML, XML, and DIF files (all of which are directly readable by Excel) from command line queries.

I am hopeful someone can offer me some guidance. I have to move data off of my Universe system and send it to a PC for inclusion in a Excel Spreadsheet. Some background: Source data is alpha/ numeric and contains VM's, SVMs and TM Source data fields are variable lengths Requirements: Output must be fixed length Output must be importable into Excel (column definitions will be based on a fixed length map) My problem: I think Excel will choke on VMs, SVMs and TM characters. Is there a standard , ASCII character that I should use to represent them? To further complicate things, sone of the fields represent data that was input with little (or no restrictions), ie. any character on the keyboard was considered valid.
