My suggestion is to have an RPG program that outputs a normal,
externally defined PF that contains the fields you want, and the
records are in the sequence you want. Then use CPYTOIMPF to convert
it to a pipe-delimited file.

FWiW: If the "sequence" of records in the stream text file matters, then CPYTOIMPF may be a poor choice. That copy\export utility uses the SQL to generate an _unordered set_ of database rows which are then written to a stream text file. So unless there is an ordering feature [e.g. a parameter specification] on the version of the [CPYTOIMPF] export command being used, do not depend on the exported data to be in any particular order.
