I do this all the time in DB2 SQL but I'm creating CSV's.
I use List_Agg() to get all the data from syscolumns in one CSV row. Our DB is standardized around the TEXT() info not COLHDG() but the concept would be similar.
You'll probably want to be sure to "order by ordinal_position" to get them in the right sequence.
I'll be interested in seeing the Python solution with COLHDG() and formatting them as multi-line headers in Excel.

Yes. Use the QSYS2.SYSCOLUMNS2 view. The column heading (as a 60-char
string, 20 chars for each "line" of COLHDG) is available as
COLUMN_HEADING. In case you are interested in the text, get it from
COLUMN_TEXT. Use TABLE_NAME and TABLE_SCHEMA to specify the file and
library, respectively. Be sure to use all caps for the file and
library.
