If you're open to other languages, and especially if you already have
even the slightest Python exposure, I strongly recommend using
iSeriesPython and either XlsxWriter (if output to .xlsx is acceptable)
or xlwt (if output to .xls is required).

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/XlsxWriter
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt

I wrote a couple very quick articles on how to install and use
XlsxWriter on the i:

It's all free, quite easy to install (even I managed to do it, and I
am not qualified to be an i admin), and performs at least as well as
Scott's POI-based stuff. If you already know Python, it will be
significantly easier to code than with RPG.

If you don't know Python but do know PHP, I would go with that and PHPExcel:

(or)
https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel
