HI What are some of the methods in taking a file that was generated

by an

RPG program and getting it to the user in an Excel Worksheet file?

 
A simple solution to this is to use the IFS API's and write an ordinary
text file into the IFS with data separated by tabs. With Netserver, the
user just opens the file on the AS/400 or you can write it to a Windows
drive directly if it is on the network. 
 
When Excel opens, it processes it as tab delimited file and formats it
correctly. 
 
I hope I am answering your question.
