Re: libxlsxwriter as ILE service program (was Re: HSSFR4 ss_cellName() function.)

Ok. It was not that difficult to port but a port to PASE would probably be easier. I think we can agree on that =D

Actually because of the very strict ANSI C code compiling it as ILE C

of. But all in all it is a great library very well coded.

Right. I read all that in your blog post, which OP linked to.

I am including any EBCDIC issues in the "porting to ILE C" because ILE
lives in QSYS.LIB, which is an EBCDIC environment. If you port to
PASE, you don't have to deal with that part.
