The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

spool, file, as400

I have a spool file from the as400 when it is copied to a physical file for pc manipulation, it loses it format. How can I get the spool file to the pc without losing the format. I will post a question if someone can reply back.
I am using vb6. I would prefer having a way to go right to the spool file and take it and copy it to the pc. See what I am trying to do is. We what to get the spool file data and dump it into a database so that we can create a better and manipulated report. We want to transferring of the data to a physical file all automated. If this is needed. I thought about just having a certain spool file go to a pdf printer and then try and find a way to convert the pdf to a text file. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I like it being dumped to a physical file but it loses all if format. Example, if there was two enter lines after the sentence:
I love the gym

Great


It would look like
Great
