Convert a file to .CSV format

My users have a menu option to build a data file on the iSeries via a submitted job. Is there a CLP method of downloading the file to an excel spreadsheet in that same batch job? We use Client Access for the transfers.
There are multiple methods you can use to convert the file to .CSV format, including the CPYTOIMPF. The CPYTOIMPF will convert it to a flat-file in CSV format. The option to do this would be to use *DLM for the DTAFMT keyword. The user would then need to execute the file-transfer request. Another option would be to use the CPYTOIMPF to convert it to a file in the IFS where the user could then use a mapped drive to copy/open the file in Excel. There are also a number of utilities that will do this.
