Hello Fellow RPGers,
More and more, we are getting requests to create reports in Excel. Currently, we have two methods of doing so:
1) GoAnywhere Director
2) Scott Klements HSSF utilities
Personally, I love the HSSF utilities because it if very flexible, and everything can be done right in one RPG program. But, not knowing all the details of what this utility is using behind the scenes, we are worried that at some point, it may become inoperable in a future release of the operating system. Then we would have to go back and update all of our programs that used it. With GoAnywhere Director, we are paying for service, which we would hope would always be supported and functional.
So, my question is, does anyone that has knowledge of what the HSSF utilities use behind the scenes have any worries, that at some point, they could be rendered unusable for whatever reason?
Thanks in advance,
John
