Seems to me that you ought to be able to write it to a disk file, and then
transfer it over your network. I've only done a tiny bit of CL, but I should
think that you could reroute the o/p to a file.
Now, keep in mind that the only time I worked with an AS/400 was 1987-8, but
you might also dig into the manuals, and see if they've added some stuff that
was part of CICS...pcsup...can't remember, but it wasn't too hard to write a
CICS app, no screen, that would accept access from the pc, and select a bunch
of data on the fly, and d/l it.
