Incorrect XLS generated by XLCRT

[Bichel]

Installed XLNEW for V5R3.
Created a simple testfile
R XLTESTR                                        
  XLTNUMS30      3S 0       TEXT('Keyfield S 3,0')
  XLTTEXT50     30          TEXT('Text 30')      
  XLTNUMP30      3  0       TEXT('Numeric P 3,0')
  XLTNUMP92      9  2       TEXT('Numeric P 9,2')
  XLTNUMS92      9  2       TEXT('Numeric S 9,2')
                                                 
K XLTNUMS30

the resulting xls (partially) shows:

XLTNUMS30    XLTTEXT50
,1                    TEST1 

seems to be a problem with numerics.

Problem solved.
Error was in
TempStr = new_String(',0'); 
now changed to
TempStr = new_String('#,##0');

Changes made for all the other statements with formatting string.

Seems to come from some convert when installing and the source for XLCRT.

That's a know problem, using some special US characters. Here in Denmark # will be translated to , therefore I have had the same problem.

Tommy is aware of this problem, and I'm working on a solution.

Btw: here are the formatting codes for HSSF_CellStyle:
0, "General"
1, "0"
2, "0.00"
3, "#,##0"
4, "#,##0.00"
5, "($#,##0_);($#,##0)"
6, "($#,##0_);[Red]($#,##0)"
7, "($#,##0.00);($#,##0.00)"
8, "($#,##0.00_);[Red]($#,##0.00)"
9, "0%"
0xa, "0.00%"
0xb, "0.00E+00"
0xc, "# ?/?"
0xd, "# ??/??"
0xe, "m/d/yy"
0xf, "d-mmm-yy"
0x10, "d-mmm"
0x11, "mmm-yy"
0x12, "h:mm AM/PM"
0x13, "h:mm:ss AM/PM"
0x14, "h:mm"
0x15, "h:mm:ss"
0x16, "m/d/yy h:mm"

// 0x17 - 0x24 reserved for international and undocumented 0x25, "(#,##0_);(#,##0)"
0x26, "(#,##0_);[Red](#,##0)"
0x27, "(#,##0.00_);(#,##0.00)"
0x28, "(#,##0.00_);[Red](#,##0.00)"
0x29, "_(*#,##0_);_(*(#,##0);_(* \"-\"_);_(@_)"
0x2a, "_($*#,##0_);_($*(#,##0);_($* \"-\"_);_(@_)"
0x2b, "_(*#,##0.00_);_(*(#,##0.00);_(*\"-\"??_);_(@_)"
0x2c, "_($*#,##0.00_);_($*(#,##0.00);_($*\"-\"??_);_(@_)"
0x2d, "mm:ss"
0x2e, "[h]:mm:ss"
0x2f, "mm:ss.0"
0x30, "##0.0E+0"
0x31, "@" - This is text format.
0x31 "text" - Alias for "@"

I'll try to make them work here in Europe, but pls. give me some time :-)
