RE: issue with Excel formula

Ok, I think I need a little more help on this.
I used qshell Find
find / -name 'poi*'

Found a few poi jar files.
In /QIBM/PRODDATA
/QIBM/USERData
/excel

I renamed them by placing an XX at the beginning of the file names.

I reran one of my programs to create a spreadsheet, expecting it to fail but it created the spreadsheet.

I also checked WRKENVVAR looking to see if we had set up a classpath, but did not see any listed.

So if I've renamed these why do my programs still create the spreadsheets?

Thanks Scott,
I will see about moving them.

Did you quit using POI because your using another approach or because you changed jobs and no longer need it?

Mike,

The problem I'm referring to was not evident in 2.5.1, it was specifically in 3.1, though I think it's probably a good idea to get a new version. Personally, I stopped using POI about a year ago, and at that time I was running 3.6

I would also urge you to PLEASE don't put your JAR files in /QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext. It makes it impossible to test/use other versions of POI on the same machine/partition. Put them in another directory, and then use the CLASSPATH to locate them.

If I'm looking in the correct place, I see poi-2.5.1 I'm looking under
IBM/UserData/Java400/Ext I see poi-2.5.1
Poi-contrib-2.5.1
Poi-scratchpad-2.5.1

Maybe I need newer versions???

There was a known bug in POI 3.1 that would cause this. Are you
running POI 3.1?

A co worker of mine has written a program that creates an Excel Spreadsheet via Scotts POI procedures.
The Spreadsheet uses the VLOOKUP formula.

When the spreadsheet is initially opened you get a message to 'Enable Editing' but Only the first time the spreadsheet is opened.
Also the Formulas don't execute, they show #Value, However if you press F2 on the formula it will execute .

I've compare the formulas before and after hitting F2 and they appear the same(which I expected).

Any idea whats going on here?
