HSSFR4 - POI 3.6 - Java exception received whan call Java method "createCel​lStyle"

All,



I've created several programs that use HSSFR4 and POI 3.6 on our V6R1 box
and they work fine.



Next I copied the same programs, jar files, etc... to a V5R4 box and am
getting the folllowing error message:

Here's how I have the environment variables setup:

endif;





Since I don't fully understand the problem, I don't know what other
information to provide for further analysis. Any ideas?



Thanks,
