Re: [IUG] Excel list into Millennium

["Anderson, Ann E" <ann dot e dot anderson at boeing dot com>]

I use an expect script to read the list and using Rapid update make a
change to each record.  Then I use create lists to make the list.    Not
pretty but it works.

Check the list archives.  It seems to me that questions along this line
have been asked 2 or 3 times in the past 6 months or so.  If I remember
correctly, there are at least 2 or 3 ways this can be done, if not more.
However, most or all of the approaches are NOT "native" built-in
Millennium commands.  They require multiple steps and, in one or two
cases, assisting scripts of some kind.
