I will give the JDBC route a try.

Re: Accessing iSeries data from OpenOffice






I use the JDBC connection from within Open Office.  The trick is getting 
the classpath and DB URL correct but it does work.

F4 in any OO application will bring up the DB window.  Then add a DB 
(JDBC connection) and you should be up and running. Not exactly snappy 
and I haven't run queries that were in the tens of thousands of records 
but it works.

You could also open a csv in OO and it will treat it as a spreadsheet 
and start the import wizard.
