Simone,

The CPYTOIMPF (Copy To Import File - check my spelling of the command)
provides the ability to copy an externally described file to either a flat
file or an IFS file.  It can format the original contents in a CSV format,
resulting in a file that will be automatically imported into Excel (or many
other spreadsheet / database programs).  However, it does not provide any
formatting or formula functionality.  Also, I believe this command was added
in V4R2, so if you are on an older OS/400 version you may not have it.
