The XML enhancements in RPG are for parsing XML documents. They don't do anything for creating them. Outputting XML is actually pretty simple. It's a matter of stringing the right data together. One approach is to use a tool like CGIDEV2 to output the XML for the spreadsheet.

Hello Richard...
Unfortunately we're not on a more recent version of the iseries O/S which allows for convenient XML development...otherwise we'd go that route. And our projected upgrade to 6.0 or better is projected for next year (it's not my call to say when we upgrade...I'm just a developer...:)
So, we use what we can.
Have a good day.

Not sure about POI.
Why don't you write some code to generate the XLSX files yourself ?
They are only XML files.

Hello all...
I'm wondering if anyone has taken the opportunity to build an Excel 2010 (xlsx extension) file using POI, as explained by Scott Klement.
We've been doing work with building spreadsheets directly and when doing conventional "xls" files we don't have any problems. But when trying to do the "xlsx" versions, we keep getting "terraspace" issues...I'm guessing some kind of method call with a null value but because the JVM drops out of the calling program immediately, all I get is a core dump which is next to impossible to analyze. We've done all the regular checks to verify classpath values and having the latest POI objects, but still no joy. I'm hoping someone else has tried this and run into similar problems so that I can get some pointers on what to look for or adjustments to make.
Have a good day.
