Hi David,

I’d like to add the XSLX capabilities to an AIX system. Do you know the considerations for getting this done? Should the Linux versions work or would you expect to use something else?

Download is a great product that I’ve been using for years and I love the functionality.

Thank you.

The big change in version 8.00 was support for creating Excel (XLSX) files.  This took only one line in the version summary, but did require substantial changes in the programming.  Depending on local configuration settings, the Excel files are created by first generating a delimited file (CSV, tab, etc.) and then calling a routine at the operating-system level to convert the delimited file to XLSX.

Hi David,

I believe this is the entire release notes for 8.0:

Version 8.00
* Bug fix (CSV format with multiple MV.ORIENTATION VERTICAL fields
* Add support for invoking a "csv to xlsx" routine

The jump from 7.42 to to 8.0 seems to indicate a big release, but perhaps not. Could you clarify if there were additional behind the scenes changes?

Thanks,

David

When I use MV.ORIENTATION VERTICAL, it does not group the output correctly.

There is no internal value that can be accessed to get the position within the multivalued field STC.STATUS.

Also your BY.EXP and BY.EXP.DSND will not work either because it will sort based on the STATUS VALUE in the field. See my example below.

The dates and the why it was entered will be out of order. I suggest you don’t explode on this field at all.

We are using the query below to retrieve student registration records expanded by status.

SELECT STUDENT.ACAD.CRED WITH STC.ACAD.LEVEL = 'UG' REQUIRE.SELECT
DOWNLOAD STUDENT.ACAD.CRED \
@ID \
BY.EXP.DSND STC.STATUS STC.STATUS \
STC.STATUS.DATE \
STC.STATUS.TIME \
STC.TERM \

Is there a way to extract the record number for the row, and the sequence number for the status?
For example, Keith added, dropped and added a course. Is there a numeric sequence that corresponds with each Add, Drop, Add entry, and how do we access it?
Sincerely,
