Have you tried something like this:
PGM
             CLRPFM     FILE(<library>/<datafile>)
             CLRPFM     FILE(<library>/<csvfile>)
             RUNQRY     QRY(<library>/<datafile>) OUTTYPE(*OUTFILE) +
                          OUTFORM(*DETAIL) PRTDFN(*NO) FORMSIZE(255 +
                          133) OUTFILE(<library>/<datafile> *FIRST +
                          *RPLFILE)
             CPYTOIMPF  FROMFILE(<library>/<datafile>) +
                          TOFILE(<library>/<csvfile>) MBROPT(*ADD)
             CPYTOPCD   FROMFILE(<library>/<csvfile>) TOFLR(OPER) +
                          TODOC(<csvfile>.CSV) REPLACE(*YES)
             SNDDST     TYPE(*DOC) +
                          TOINTNET(('someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx') +
                          ('someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx')) DSTD('List of +
                           data.') MSG('List of +
                          data.') +
                          DOCFILE(*NONE) DOC(<csvfile>.CSV) FLR(OPER)
ENDPGM

Subject: Excel Question


I ve frequently seen users ask for reports to be delivered in "excel
format". How is this done? My first instinct is to modify my
report-generating program to output information to an externally-described
physical file instead of (or in addition to) to a spool file, then to use
EMAIL to send the physical file to the user with parameter DELIMITER(*CSV).
But the resulting .CSV file doesn't really look like the report as I drop
all headings line (including column headings) and total lines. Is there a
way to deliver the report in "excel format" that actually looks like the
original report?

Thanks for your responses! Kindly respond

 

Regards,
