If a commercial offering is suitable, our RPG2SQL Integrator has 
RPG2Excel functionality built-in - it uses OLE automation on the PC 
middleware machine - in other words, it uses Excel itself, so writing to 
xlsx is no problem at all.

If interested, contact me or Richard privately here, or call us 
toll-free at 888.rjs.soft

But when trying to do the "xlsx" versions, we keep getting "terraspace" issues...I'm guessing some kind of method call with a null value but because the JVM drops out of the calling program immediately, all I get is a core dump which is next to impossible to analyze.  We've done all the regular checks to verify classpath values and having the latest POI objects, but still no joy. I'm hoping someone else has tried this and run into similar problems so that I can get some pointers on what to look for or adjustments to make.
