Arthur,

First it determines 'max' field attributes for every column in the .csv

file and then displays a subfile showing the 'DDS'.

Why convert to *.csv file format first if they are giving you a
spreadsheet? Scott has published articles on using HSSF to read the
spreadsheet directly from your RPG program using a service program. Here is
one link:

The 2nd pass reads the data for the sole purpose of building a string

that exactly mimics the DDS record layout. That's why ...

Out of curiousity, how then are you handling negative numbers?
