That makes sense. The tests always run with LANG=C.

I was working on this bug, but it sent me down a deep, unpleasant rabbit hole in XML parsing libraries and I didn't want to deal with it.  I'll definitely check back again later.

I think I have the same issue. I cannot even pass test for bug #61078 (see ./tests/data/spreadsheet-test.at file). I've got this as a result of a "list" command:

-----
Table: Data List
s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7,s6_A,s7_A,s8,s9
"31,00","5,00","1,00","1,00","4,00","5,00","4,00","5,00","5,00","4,00"
"38,00","1,00",",00","2,00","5,00","5,00","4,00","4,00","5,00","4,00"
"24,00","1,00",",00","3,00","5,00","5,00","4,00","4,00","5,00","3,00"
"49,00","5,00","2,00","3,00","4,00","5,00","4,00","5,00","5,00","5,00"
"30,00","1,00",",00","2,00","5,00","5,00","5,00","5,00","5,00","5,00"
"33,00","5,00","2,00","2,00","5,00","5,00","5,00","5,00","5,00","5,00"
"32,00","1,00","23,00","2,00","4,00","5,00","3,00","4,00","4,00","3,00"
-----

However I found that forcing LANG=C or LC_NUMERIC=C fixes that.

For the record here are my LC vars:

-----
declare -x LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8"
declare -x LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8"
declare -x LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
declare -x LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
declare -x LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8"
declare -x LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"

I guess it's the same story with other non-English locales.

No, b) isn't fixed and I'm working on it.

I fixed the problem with the names being cut off just now with commit 6462038a0664 ("ods-reader: Support more than a single piece of text in a cell.").

var names are not imported right from ods | make numering vars as strings - no auto way to change them in bulk.


I imported the following ods file by running:

GET DATA /TYPE=ODS
   /FILE="/pspp_bug.ods"
   /SHEET=INDEX 1
   /CELLRANGE=FULL
   /READNAMES=on.

Then:
a) Some variable names are not imported right (their names are severily cut, even thought they do not exceed length of letter word),
  
b) Many vars are imported as string while they are clearly numerics

c) No auto way to change these string vars back to numeric (as well to define all decimals to "2")
