Hi!

When I tried to ftp mainframe file to remote as xls file, the xls file name and sheet name(Tabs in excel) are having the same name.


I want the sheet name is different from xls file name. Is there a way in mainframe to send the xls file with different sheet name.

Are you using a product on the mainframe to generate the .xls? If so, contact the vendor of that product and work with them. If not, you'll have to explain a LOT more about your process -- such as how you generate the .xls on the mainframe and what transfer method you are using to get it to the remote system (for starters).

I am using the JCL utility FTP(PGM=FTP) to transfer the file to remote. The mainframe file is tab delimited file and the data is transferred successfully and only the issue excel assign sheet name as xls file name.

This is NOT a mainframe question. You need to find an Excel forum and ask your question there. We focus only on mainframe issues.

In that case, it is NOT an "xls" file, it is a simple text file, built in such a way that Excel can understand it.
There is no way to give a name to the worksheet because there is no worksheet in the text file.
