Use CPYSPLF to put the spooled output into a physical file (CTLCHAR(*NONE)), 
FTP that to an ASCII file with a .TXT extension and just open it with Excel, 
which will prompt you for import information (column positions, data types, 
starting column, starting row). Once you've got it into the spreadsheet, sort 
the data to make the headers all gravitate to one spot in the spreadsheet so 
that they can be deleted with one swell foop.
