Hi, thanks for the explanation. However i dont want to import text into excel as it an additional manual task. I want to create an excel file directly somehow using any function that DB2 uses.

@Rudic : I dont have Colsep in db2. What else can i use here.
Use sed to convert spaces to commas and rename it csv. excel will open it right up.

You can also script the entire Excel importation into a excel macro. I did this some years ago to get a nicely formated print out on the printer waiting for me every morning on the way to a meeting.
