Yes.

If I passed the parameters for example 2 times means Hello World should display in Excel 2 times.

Ok.
Well in order to output to XL you have to use a TABLE command with the option ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K. This means that first you have to write your HELLO WORLDs into a file, then create a MASTER for this file, and lastly use the TABLE command to read the file and output to XL.
Need help for that?

How about this:

TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
	PRINT COMPUTE THEROW/A13 = 'Hello world';
	BY	TBNAME	NOPRINT
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD_ROW
END

-SET &COUNTER = 0;

TABLE FILE HOLD_ROW
	PRINT THEROW	AS 'Column name'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K

-START_LOOP
MORE
FILE HOLD_ROW
-SET &COUNTER = &COUNTER + 1;
-IF &COUNTER GE 99 THEN CONTINUE ELSE GOTO START_LOOP
END


G'luck
