Subject: Re: EXCEL POI HSSF RPGLE



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:

If you're not a member, you can create a free "Associate" account to read the 
article.
