Silly me (should have known to provide second level) and this is really weird. The folder path and file name are the same interactively and via batch. However, in batch, it is cut off (see below). The variable that contains the path and file name are not cut off.
Message . . . . :   Java exception received when calling Java method.        
Cause . . . . . :   RPG procedure SS_OPEN in program POI36/HSSFR4 received   
  Java exception "java.io.FileNotFoundException: /IT                         
  Ops/Data_Updates/Mulehide_Products/Replacement_Cost/MHP Pricing E" when    
  calling method "<init>" with signature "(Ljava.lang.String;)V" in class    
  "java.io.FileInputStream".                                                 
Recovery  . . . :   Contact the person responsible for program maintenance to
  determine the cause of the problem.                                        
Technical description . . . . . . . . :   If the exception indicates that the
  Java class was not found, ensure the class for the method is in the class  
  path. If the exception indicates that the Java method was not found, check 
  the method name and signature. If the signature is not correct, change the RPG prototype for the method, or change the Java method, so that the return 
type and parameter types match. You can determine the signatures for all the
methods in class XYZ using command QSH CMD('javap -s XYZ').

Hi Jason,
The RNX0301 error should have a lot more detail than you've provided. Can you provide the 2nd level text that you receive in the job log? The entire message will all data would be helpful.   Within this detail should be information about the Java exception that's occurring.   As it stands, all we know is that some sort of exception is occurring, we don't know what it is.

I have a program that reads and processes an xlsx spreadsheet on a V7R2 system. Works great interactively but gets an exception when ran in batch. All there is in the job log after starting the JVM is the below escape message.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Program logic is:
   SetJavaEnvironment();
   ss_begin_object_group(100);
   book = ss_open((%Trim(myFile));
   If book = *null;
    ReturnValue = UnableToOpenFile;
   Else;
     // do some stuff
   EndIf;
   ss_end_object_group();
