I'm now checking existence with DSPLNK (*PRINT) before I attempt to do the
_open, but it's kind of inelegant.
Ewww... yuck, blech...  If you want to work around the problem, use the 
IFS APIs to get a list of files in the directory, not DSPLNK (and 
certainly not *PRINT!).  Or check each file with the access() API before 
trying to open it with HSSF_open().
Search Google for opendir closedir readdir RPG IV.  I've written quite a 
few articles, as well as forums and mailing list messages that demonstrate 
these.  I'm too lazy to look them up right now :)
But that's just a workaround.  the "right fix" is to stop HSSF_open() from 
causing the whole JVM to go askew when one open fails.  I suspect that the 
Java routine is throwing an error, and the RPG routine isn't properly 
clearing the error. I'll have to experiment with HSSFR4 to see if I can 
come up with a solution.  Most likely, you just need to call 
the ExceptionClear() API to clear the error.
