AIX 4.2 ... that's old. You got 2 things? You want
a) create/update tables
b) accumulate data and copy it to an Excel sheet
For a)
You did not say what Oracle version you use, but 8 has sqlplus. Not sure if former versions had this tool too. You should look for something like sqlplus on your version and start using this, when you want to be on the shell.
For b)
When you have sqlplus or the sqlplus similar tool, extract the data into a file on your AIX box with an appropriate SQL-query and if that's not enough, maybe work it with shell/awk/sed etc.

Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT(3pm)
NAME
Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT - Convert Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT <-> strftime Format Strings
SYNOPSIS
use Convert::NLS_DATE_FORMAT qw(oracle2posix posix2oracle);
my $strptime = oracle2posix($NLS_DATE_FORMAT);
$NLS_DATE_FORMAT = posix2oracle($strftime);
DESCRIPTION
Convert Oracle's NLS_DATE_FORMAT string into a strptime format string, or the reverse.
Functions
oracle2posix
Takes an Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT string and converts it into formatting string compatible with "strftime" or "strptime".
my $format = oracle2posix('YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'); # '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
Character sequences that should not be translated may be enclosed within double quotes, as specified in the Oracle documentation.
my $format = oracle2posix('YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS'); # '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S'
posix2oracle
Takes a "strftime" or "strptime" formatting string and converts it into an Oracle NLS_DATE_FORMAT string. It is possible to create
strings which Oracle will not accept as valid NLS_DATE_FORMAT strings.
my $format = posix2oracle('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'); # 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
EXPORT
None by default. "oracle2posix" and "posix2oracle" when asked.
