Re: Trying to get a RPG program to read a xlsx

Not sure why blanks in the name would matter, it's a valid file name.

Usually, the file not found is due to the use of a fixed character variable
being used for the file name and thus blanks at the end are expected to be
part of the name and they are not. Make sure you %trim() the filename
before passing it into the POI stuff.

Subject: Trying to get a RPG program to read a xlsx

I need help. I have loaded the POI and other libraries onto the machine
and compiled. I am using Scott Klement's code and examples.



I am stuck with an error trying to open the spreadsheet with the
hssf_Open(path_and_filename). It errors out and the job log shows that the
file is not found.



1. The file name and path is long, over 100 characters. Is this a
problem?

2. The file name contains blanks. Is this a problem?

3. I cannot debug the HSSFR4 code. The compiler jumps over it and
will
not allow me to put in a break point. I am using the Java/GUI debugger
included with iAccess.



Any suggestions would help.

TIA
