directly, then I will skip the conversion.

The most common recommendation for those who have the capability and
resources to write custom code is to use Java, using Apache's POI-HSSF
library. There are RPG wrappers for this, if direct Java coding is a
problem.

Personally, I use iSeriesPython and the xlrd module, because I find
those much, much easier to use than POI.

If you need a ready-made utility, I'm afraid I don't know any (because
I always just use Python); but I would think there are other folks on
this list who will chime in with some.

If no one response with an easy, right-out-of-the-box solution by the
end of the day, maybe I'll whip up a quick Python script.
