I am trying to copy data from a main frame computer and put on excel
spreadsheet. How do I do this and keep basic format? There are 3 line item
per screen and about 15 screens.

Same the data from mainfram as a text (ASCII) file and transfer to PC; Open
with Excel and use Data |Text to Columns to separate items.
Better yet, if main frame allows,: save data in a comma delimited file -
commas between each item. Excel will open this and recognize the fields if
you call it something like Mydata.CSV
best wishes
