Jantje & Timothy, Those look very interesting. But I forgot a critical part in my initial post. The solution must be FREE of any cost or obligation. The z/OS system is being "revitalized", but that doesn't mean that we're going to actually spend any more money on it. Most especially if we already have a "solution" (what we're doing now) and the "new solution" is not a user request, but just a programmer who has too much to do already and wants to eliminate an "irritation". I guess what we want is an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process between z/OS VSAM and Excel which is free & we can con...vince the user into using instead of making a "friendly request" (not a formal one) of the programmer on an "ad hoc" basis.
