Scott,
Are you saying that I don't need the parenthesis at all?
I can go from TempStr = new_String('(#,##0.00_);[Red](#,##0.00)'); to
TempStr = new_String('#,##0.00_;[Red]#,##0.00');?

I'll be the first to admit I know very little about java and how it is
called from RPG so I have to ask, why does this code not produce the
same results?

Numeric = HSSFWorkbook_createCellStyle(book);

DataFmt = HSSFWorkbook_createDataFormat(book);
TempStr = new_String('(#,##0.00_);[Red](#,##0.00)');
NumFmt = HSSFDataFormat_getFormat(DataFmt: TempStr);
HSSFCellStyle_setDataFormat(Numeric: NumFmt);

HSSFCellStyle_setAlignment(Numeric: ALIGN_RIGHT);


All I did was copy the code above and changed the decimal position to
what I needed. The original code was copied from an example I found on
the web sometime back. It has caused no problems as long as I don't
exceed two decimal places.
