Conversion of lis files into pcformat

C

Charles

Greetings:
We receive files in an lis format that is not manipulable by Excel nor by
Access. The lis format is simply a report readable file. How do we convert
the lis file into perhaps a pcformat that would be Comma Separated Value file
utilizable by Excel. For that matter any format that would be utilizable by
Excel and Access.

Hope it works out for you. I worked at a telephone company that made a
poor decision about its billing system, which could only generate call
detail records (detailed information about phone calls) via a .PRN
file. After numerous attempts by the billing vendor, our IT
department, and a handful of consultants I was able to write a program
to parse the PRN file into MS Access files- not a trivial chore, what
with all the formatting, headers, footers, etc. I hope your process
goes smoother than mine did!

At this point I can definetly state that the lis files that we are working
with are indeed from a VAX VMS operating system and are specifically report
files only(designed only to be printed out). This is our dilemma on how to
convert these into pcformat files that excel and / or Access would be capable
of working with.
