ACCEPT Excel

        Excel (TM) datafile may be readable by command ACCEPT. They must be con-
        verted to CSV format (Comma Separated Values). A  suitable  use  of  the
        dummy variables in ACCEPT command allows to skip the non-numeric fields.
        The proper separator must then be specified using the second argument of
        option /COLUMN: e.g.
        ACCEPT * Var1 Var2 /File Excel.csv ";" /LINES 2 20
        will  read  Var1  and Var2 from lines 2 to 20 of the corresponding Excel
        file, from Excel columns "B" and "C" (second and third).

        To be documented: Can character variables also be read with numeric ones
        provided some adequate /FORMAT option ?
