  Exporting XLS or XML or CSV from RMS? 
 The Question is:
 
Does there exist a straightforward method or utility for converting/exporting
 RMS data to text or other external file format such as XLS?
 
Is a dictionary or other record definition required or can the RMS structure
 itself adequately define data boundaries to make the conversion possible
 directly?
 
Even if a dictionary is required - can this be accomplished with some readily
 available toolset?
 
 
 
 
 The Answer is :
 
  Conversion tools are entirely file-specific.  Barring the use of
  Oracle CDD/Repository or such, no dictionary is available -- RMS
  record structures are entirely free-form, and applications are
  entirely free to map the bytes of individual records to any desired
  data format or organization.  Conversion tools are file-specific.
