Bug#519828: openoffice.org-calc: The program reports error on the "IF" function, copied verbatim from documentation



Package: openoffice.org-calc
Version: 1:3.0.1-5
Severity: normal

The function "IF", whenever I try to enter it in a cell, consistently report
"Err:508", claiming a problem with bracketing.  In despair I finally created
a very little spreadsheet and copied the expression

  =IF(A1>5;100;"too small")

verbatim from the Openoffice Help example.  Same problem.

I suspect that the problem may be related to the fact that I work in a not-
quite English environment; my locale is en_DK.UTF-8.  The separator ";" may
be a different one?  If that is the case, and I have missed to locate such
info in documentation, I apologize; still, the exact error message would  be
quite confusing.

I have attached the spreadsheet demonstrating the problem.
