                        I wrote an article on parsing spreadsheets using 
POI/HSSF for the iSeries
                        Network's Club Tech iSeries Programming Tips 
newsletter. There is a
                        service program included with the article that does 
most of the
                        grunt work for you -- you just have to provide some RPG 
routines to handle
                        the data that's pulled out of the spreadsheet.
                        
                        If you're a member of the iSeries Network, you can read 
that article here:

DonÃâât ask "reasonable?"
