We use spooled file tools, a bit of shareware that we paid (I think) $50.00 
for.  See http://www.bvstools.com for details.

This utility (which runs on as/400) easily copies spooled files to document 
folders on your AS/400.  It will copy to straght text, or HTM as you 
desire.

I am curious.  Why should there be no installations on AS/400?  You'd have 
to copy the spooled files to document folders anyway.  This just makes it 
easier.  A virtual no-brainer, as it were.

If you run client access, you can get to the QDLS folder on your as/400 
through windows explorer and copy the resulting PC document anywhere you 
want.  Or you can access it in Excel and run the text wizard over it.
