Using OxygenOffice Professional 3.0.1 on a WinXP Pro machine I create
a spreadsheet with a formula in cell B1
" =IF( ISNUMBER(A1) , IF( A1=0 , "" , A1) , "") "
not including the leading and trailing quote marks. It generates Err
508 in the cells it occupies.
When I opened the OOOo3.0.1 file with Portable Apps 2.4 all the
semicolons had been transformed into pipe symbols. After reworking
the pipes back into semicolons then in PortableApps 2.4 the formula
works as expected.
After opening the PortableAps saved file with OOOo3.0.1 the formula
had the semicolons transformed into commas.
The formula worked, but should not have because it lacked semicolons.
What is going on? Is Oxygen Office beginning to use comma's in the
formula format? Or, is this a bug ,
in OxygenOffice? I cannot determine if it is unique to my computer.
Can anyone else verify this? I will provide the .ODS spreadsheet
files upon request.

The down stream versions of Calc such as OxygenOffice changed the
syntax to mimic Excel. It has been a common complaint on the Calc
issues mailing list. there are seveal Issues filed about it.

Thank you. It seems to me that the Open Document format specifications
should have nailed the format down precisely. Otherwise, the document
can not fully portable.
