Please help - unknown grbit '16'

[Sara Uppalapati <su...@us.ibm.com>]

Hi,  We are using POI_3.0_Alpha.jar file and trying to read spread sheet 
in the code.  It was working fine until few days back.  Spread sheet was 
updated with more tabs and more data and after that getting below errors. 
I spent long time and still no clue.  Spread sheet was updated on windows 
machine with office 2003.  Please help.

Error in Reading : org.apache.poi.hssf.record.RecordFormatException:

Code snippet:
try
            {
              fs = new FileInputStream(fileToBeRead);
              System.out.println(" file read" );
              FI = new FileInputStream(propertyFile) ;
              FW = new FileWriter(fileToBeWritten);
            }
          catch(FileNotFoundException e)
            {
              throw new Exception(e);
            }
          catch(IOException e)
            {
              throw new Exception(e);
            }
          System.out.println("Before HSSFWorkbook Initiation");
          HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook(fs);
          System.out.println("After HSSFWorkbook Initiation");


Exception are right at initializing HSSFWorkbook() - HSSFWorkbook workbook 
= new HSSFWorkbook(fs);

I really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Sara
