HSSF error when reading an existing Excel spreadsheet

["Rich Dotson" <rich_dotson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been working with the HSSF4 Java POI procedures that I downloaded from 
the links
previously listed on this mail list.  I was able to get an RPG program to 
write out
to a new Excel spreadsheet but I am having a problem getting a program to 
read from
an existing Excel spreadsheet.

I've included the error message, section of code in the HSSF4 service 
program where
the error is occuring and the entire RPG program that I am calling.   This 
program
is a version of the UPDDEMO RPG program that was part of the code in the
www.iseriesnetwork.com/noderesources/code/clubtechcode/ExcelCrtDemo.zip 
examples.

Does anyone know why I am receiving the following error?  The error is 
occuring on
the following line in the RPG program:

book = hssf_open('/excel/BBNExpress.xls');

Thanks!


Here's the detailed message that I am receiving:

Message ID . . . . . . :   RNX0301       Severity . . . . . . . :   50

Below is the section of the HSSFR4 service program where the error occurred.
The error occurred on line 1266 / 126500.
