You need to discover the lsyout of the Notes document. Take a look at the document in hex - TextPad (www.textpad.com) is a great editor that'll let you do this. See what the field separators are, and records separators. If the structure is easily managed, you could use CPYFRMIMPF, specifying the various separators, and probably get what you want.

Otherwise, you could automate things through Excel, possibly called from the 400, with a little macro writing in Excel.

I need to download a Lotus Notes View (Notes running on an NT BTW) to an
iSeries/400 database file.  The Documents in the View have field elements
made up of Text values and Dates.  I know I can export a Notes View to a
spreadsheet, cleanup the spreadsheet data, and then download the
spreadsheet to the 400, but it seems to me there ought to be an easier way
that isn't manual.

Is there a way I can automate all this and end up with a database file I
can actually use on my 400 that has field types I can work with?  Oh yeah,
I almost forgot ... I'd prefer something that won't require a lot of time
or training as I have little time available to me.  <g>
