Re: jexcelapi & java.lang.NullPointerException error

After bouncing things back and forth with Michael Ryan off-line, we have
found that this is NOT a JAVA problem. The problem is lies with the V5R3
CPYTOIMPF command and problems with code pages. This issue has been
pounded in the Midrange-l list for months.

Thanks to all that responded.
