The IEXL product has been designed to simplify the creation of Excel spreadsheets directly on the AS/400, ISERIES or I5 (Referred to as I5 after). There is no need for further PC packages or Database communications setup to use the IEXL product. The system uses Apache POI software to generate the spreadsheets which is supplied as part of this product. At its most basic the product can be used to simply transfer a data file into a spreadsheet. If required, using its inbuilt functionality it can be used to set fonts, styles, headings, colours, etc to generate more professional looking spreadsheets. The software can be used be any person that can access data files. If for example a user runs a Query on a weekly basis that generates an output file it may be of use to have this data transferred to Excel. This can be achieved by creating a schedule job that would read the Query file using the IEXL product.
