Background:
I have code written in SAS that runs on MVS OS/390. The output part of the code calls MS-EXCEL spreadsheet and fills in the output data with column headings into the spreadsheet.
Problem:
Problem is this. I run the code on mainframe(batch). I could not find a way for my code to link back to user’s PC and call the MS-Excel application.
Other info:
There are valid FTP, NDM, DB2 CONNECT, & CAE established. My code runs on PC-SAS but in mainframe no such luck.
Sumary:
Is there a way to run a job (batch) on mainframe, and at the end the code to invoke back the user’s MS-Excel application. (the more I think about it the more I think it won’t but it never hurts to ask!)
Thanks in advance.
