Data transfer from System i to .DBF format


We may purchase a software package which will accept transaction data from our 
MRP system.  There are special file formats which must be populated in order 
for this package to be able to read the data downloaded from the System i.

Their software wants the data downloaded to a "TransAct.DBF" file - from which 
then they will pick out the data and process it.

I looks like the .DBF is a FoxPro or Dbase database format.  

How would I get the System i5 data into this format - without too much hassle?
