Request for ACS to not append phonetic data when uploading xlsx file.

We upload Excel file from PC to IBM i using IBM i Access Client Solutions(ACS).

When transfering a file of "xlsx" format to IBM i, characters that are not in the data may be uploaded (against my will)automatically added.
- Characters not included in the data to be added are "Furigana" for Japanese Kanji characters.
"Furigana" is phonetic and helping Japanese to know how to pronounce.
- It does not occur in the file of "xls" format.

■Request
Just like in the case of "xls" format file, please also allow uploading of "xlsx" format file without adding Furigana for Japanese Kanji characters.


Use Case:

Without converting the file of "xlsx" format to "xls" format
Using ACS, we can upload "xlsx" format file directly.
