I ran a SQL statement using the ISeries navigator is there a way to export the data to excel? i dont see any options for it at all
when i copy and paste it it doesn't copy over the column headings
and since the table is huge it would get too confusing without the column headings

thanks

Don't know about Navigator, but you can run a pass-through query directly from Excel

The Navigator has limited export capabilities IIRC. How about the Data Import and Export Wizards? You can put a query in there and export to CSV.
