As you may know, HSSFCGI is an open-source utility for IBM System-i that allows to create Excel worksheets through a XML-like language named XLSGEN.
XLSGEN scripts can easily be generated from RPG programs.
HSSFCGI is distributed from site EASY400.NET, http://www.easy400.net . You can read about it at page http://www.easy400.net/hssfcgi/html/page1.htm .
Today news are two new "vertical" features of XLSGEN, working both for XLS and XLSX spreadsheets:
1- ROW HEIGHT
It is now possible to set the height of a row to a given number of points. Example:
<row row-height="210">
generates a row with a height of 210 points.
This is especially useful when you want to generate a row containing pictures, or when you want to generate a row containing big headings.
2- DATA VERTICAL ALIGNMENT
When a cell height (because of its row height) is vertically larger than its contents (example: some text), you may now provide some vertical alignment through keyword VALIGN. Example:
<cell>
<data type="text" valign="center" italic>this is a text string</data>
</cell>
(NOTE - HSSFCGI is built over Scott Klement's service program HSSFR4, an interface to POI Java classes)
