I want to know if there is a known solution to write data to /QDLS in Excel format.
  1. I have to extract data into a temporary table
  2. I have to convert into ASCII the data into IFS /QDLS in Excel format.
  3. I can't use FTP, so i will have to send by mail that files (.xls)

Have you an idea to create a file in excel format into IFS /QDLS ?

You can use the CPYTOIMPF command to do the conversion and creation of the file.
