SQL - Generate Spreadsheet

Found this example:

VALUES SYSTOOLS.GENERATE_SPREADSHEET(
PATH_NAME => '/usr/query_spreadsheet',
SPREADSHEET_QUERY => 'select order_number, customer, balance from orders where shipped = ''YES''',
COLUMN_HEADINGS => 'COLUMN');

subject: SQL, generate spreadsheet

I have this SQL that I stole from Simon Hutchinson, (altered to include what I need) but the last bit is to generate a spreadsheet from the output.

I see the generate spreadsheet scalar function, but the documentation is not clear or my SQL stupidity is coming out. How do I set this up to generate a spreadsheet when run from an CLLE program?

SELECT SYS_DNAME AS LIBRARY,SYS_ONAME AS OBJECT,
OBJTYPE,USER_NAME,OBJ_AUTH,
OBJOPER AS OPR,OBJMGT AS MGT,OBJEXIST AS EXIST,
OBJALTER AS ALTER,OBJREF AS REF,
DATA_READ AS READ,DATA_ADD AS ADD,DATA_UPD AS UPDATE,
DATA_DEL AS DELETE,DATA_EXEC AS EXECUTE
FROM QSYS2.OBJECT_PRIVILEGES
WHERE SYS_DNAME = 'QSYS'
AND OBJTYPE = '*CMD'
ORDER BY SYS_ONAME,USER_NAME
