[stackoverflow] [progress Openedge Abl] Converting Output To Excel Into Libreoffice

[Bruno]

I've done some search in this forum and couldn't find nothing. I have a lot of programs that have Excel output, some of them using COM-HANDLE resource, others using DDE-EXECUTE resource (yes, it's old, very old ...). Here in my organization, forced by elevated costs of Microsoft licensing, we're doing a migration from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice and, obviously, programs with Excel outputs don't work there.

Is there some way to do a massive conversion of programs who does Excel outputs to LibreOffice outputs or, in a better world, a way to maintain Excel outputs and do a LibreOffice output when Excel isn't installed ?

Thanks in advance. Bruno
