What exactly do you need if you say tools in MF? You can use all the solutions given (JCLs) in the utilities forum as tools.

Well, one of my friend created some tool in REXX to check the proper alignment and other such formating. I am also looking for such kinda tools.

Based on the number of times people ask for it, a tool to convert text data into an Excel .xls formatted file would probably make some good money.

And what is the problem converting text data into Excel? It's easy, I've done it in the past, and not just text, but also formulae operating on the data...
