You could use a commercial product like our RPGtoExcel Integrator to
accomplish what you want quite nicely. You can generate spreadsheets
directly in Excel from an RPG program and open them on the fly.

If you're looking for FREE options Scott Klement has written utilities
to create Excel files in the IFS. You could create an Excel file and
then launch it with STRPCCMD as you suggest.

Is it posible to write a CSV file to IFS and open it in Excel,
seamlessly from an AS400 program?

This is what I want to do:

Program will display data from a file. When user presses an F key
(Export to Excel), Excel is started in a new window with that data.
User can then save it whereever he wants on his PC.

I was thinking that a CSV file could be written somewhere on IFS and
then maybe STRPCCMD (or something similar) can open Excel with that
file. I don't know whether such a thing is possible.

There is no specialized software on AS400, and getting any new
software installed, is not an option.

Any ideas?
