I have just managed to get the XLPDEMO program running. Apparently you need to add the classpath variable in the program, probably has something to do with the activation group (?).
CLASSPATH, like all environment variables, is stored at the job level or system level. It's not activation group specific. The JVM isn't related to the activation group either, since Java isn't an ILE language.
Anyway, I have now modified this program so that it reads and processes one of my own spreadsheets, and everything works just fine, until it reaches the end of the data. After that, I get the following Java errors: Additional Message Information Message ID . . . . . . : RNX0301 Severity . . . . . . . : 50 Message type . . . . . : Escape Date sent . . . . . . : 14/07/05 Time sent . . . . . . : 15:03:39 Message . . . . : Java exception received when calling Java method. Cause . . . . . : RPG procedure XLPARSE_WO in program COLPAERP/XLPARSER4 received Java exception "org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException: Unable to construct record instance, the following" when calling method "parse" with signature "(¬B¬B¬B)V" in class "com.iseriesnetwork.clubtech.xlparse.ParseSheet".
Sounds like you have an Excel record in your spreadsheet that HSSF is not familiar with. Not much I can do about that -- you'll have to contact the POI developers.
Is there any way to tell the program to stop parsing at a certain point? Or does the excel sheet have to comply with certain requirements to signal an 'end-of-file' for the parser?
Have the subprocedure that's called by XLPARSE (the one for numeric cells or the one for character cells) return *ON. That should stop the parsing.
