File Downloads

The file download process involves taking a database file, usually created through the CU*BASE Report Builder (Query), and copying its contents to a text format for use on a PC, commonly through a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft® Excel. You can also copy data from a spooled report and convert it to a file format for use on your PC.

For CU*BASE online clients, special security authorization is required to download data from the iSeries to your PC. Please contact a client service representative for assistance.

For information about performing file downloads, refer to the following booklet:
