Re: POI cell formatting

I use the following for braces and RED. Modify at will.

TempStr = new_String('#,##0_);[Red](#,##0)');

Numeric$ = HSSFWorkbook_createCellStyle(book);



DataFmt = HSSFWorkbook_createDataFormat(book);

TempStr = new_String('#,##0.00');

NumFmt = HSSFDataFormat_getFormat(DataFmt: TempStr);

HSSFCellStyle_setDataFormat(Numeric$: NumFmt);



HSSFCellStyle_setAlignment(Numeric$: ALIGN_RIGHT);





I have the above code in a RPGLE program and when I write a negative
number to the cell I get a -123.00 in front of the number.



What can I change to have a negative number written as (123.00).



I need the cell to know that it is negative for formulas.
