Re: Update a spreadsheet with data from iSeries

Hello,


    cell = HSSFRow_GetCell(Row:  85);        <-------------ERROR (cell=0)

[SNIP]

Cell no. 85 returns with 0 (zero) which indicates 'no cell found'
and the program dumps in line 3 of the section.

There is nothing wrong with cell no. 85 in the row as I can see.
All fields that gives the error is char. fields.
To conserve space, Excel will only include cells if they're not empty. The empty cells are not saved to the file.
Therefore, you may get this error when trying to update a cell that's empty in your spreadsheet. I suggest that you check it by coding something like the following (untested): 

    cell = HSSFRow_getCell(row: 85);
    if cell = *NULL;
        cell = HSSFRow_createCell(row: 85);
    endif;

Good luck
