IFS Output problem

I am creating a file in the IFS in HTML format with a .xls extension to be 
opened by MS EXCEL.
I am getting garbage characters in my output file that my program did not 
create.
When I try to open the file, EXCEL can not determine what type of data it 
contains.
When I view it in NOTEPAD it looks fine.
I SAVE the file from NOTEPAD *without any changes*, then EXCEL can open it.
When it is displayed, I get weird results as follows:
Run Date: 07/14/2005Correctable OrdersRequested by: 
JEFF</hÈ</t?</t</t?</t?</t

... repeated 245 times.

The file in NOTEPAD is as follows:

 ê<html><head><title> <Font =color="FFFFFF">Correctable 
Orders</font></title></hea ?<h3 align="left">Run Date: 

07/14/2005</h3><h2 align="center">Correctable Orders</h2><h3>Requested by: 
JEFF</hÈ<table align="top" border="1" 

width="100%">

The HEX version of the data (from option 5 on WRKLNK is :

20EA3C68 746D6C3E 3C686561 643E3C74 69746C65

What am I doing wrong?
