PREFACE
Lotus Development Corporation's 1-2-3(TM) and Symphony(TM) perform user
selected operations upon a data matrix that is termed a "worksheet".
Worksheet files are such matrices stored on disk.
A worksheet file is an unbroken sequence of binary coded records defining a
single worksheet.
Both 1-2-3 and Symphony accept externally created data files if the files
are in the worksheet file format. Other programs can decode and process
worksheet files created by 1-2-3 or Symphony.
The following document provides information required to create or access a
worksheet file by describing the records used to create a worksheet file.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with Lotus products and has ready
access to 1-2-3 or Symphony documentation.
Note that the worksheet files for 1-2-3 and Symphony are similar, but not
necessarily interchangeable. 1-2-3 and Symphony share some record types,
but also have record types unique to that product. Symphony can read 1-2-3
records, but 1-2-3 cannot read Symphony records.
The information contained in this document has been released into the
public domain and is not considered to be confidential or proprietary
although still the copyright and property of Lotus Development Corporation.
All efforts have been made to ensure that this information is clear and
useful since Lotus will not be providing customer assistance with this
booklet. Lotus will, however, incorporate any necessary corrections if
they are reported in writing to:

WORKSHEET FILE FORMAT
Worksheet files are organized as an unbroken sequence of variable length
binary records. Each record consists of a 4-byte header followed by the
record body. The header defines the record's type and length, as the
example below shows.
The header's composition is as follows:
Byte Number Byte Description
0,1 Record type code
2,3 Record body length (bytes)
Example: Record Header
Record Header
Record Record
Type Length
Byte Number 0 1 2 3
Hex Code 1C 00 20 00
Decimal Equivalent 28 32
The record body can be of many different types; most have predetermined
length, but some vary in length.
The record type code is 28.
In a hex dump of the file, the record type appears as 1C 00h, noting that
the 8086/88 stores the most significant byte of word in the higher memory
address.
The record length is 32 bytes.
In a hex dump of the file, the record length appears as 20 00h.
Record types with Column/Row Coordinates
Some record types contain column/row coordinates to identify a cell, or one
of the two points that define a range. Numbering starts at zero in the
upper left corner of the worksheet.
For example:
Cell A1 = column 0, row 0
SUMMARY OF RECORD TYPES
This section describes the different record types found in 1-2-3 and
Symphony.
There are to Quick Reference tables ordered by Opcode and by Product,
followed by a detailed reference section ordered by Opcode. In the
reference section, there are examples for the more commonly used records.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with 1-2-3 or Symphony and has
access to Lotus' documentation.

and Sons, 1979. See chapter 6.2. The algorithm itself is described on
pages 216 and 217.
This algorithm is also described in the following article:

APPENDIX B: The Formula Compiler
This appendix describes the internal workings of the formula compiler. The
compiler transforms an ASCII string of characters representing a formula to
its Reverse Polish code. The basic algorithm utilizes and SR parser (SR =
shift and reduce). The aim of the parser is to apply a set of reduction
rules which embody the syntax of the compiler to an input string. Formula
code is compiled to a temporary buffer.
Lexicon Analysis
A lexical analyzer breaks up the input string into lexical units called
tokens. A token is a substring of the original input string operand,
operator, or special symbol (such as comma, parentheses, etc.) In addition,
the lexical analyser supplies two special tokens, "beginning of formula"
(boform) and "end of formula" (eoform), to facilitate the compilation
process. The lexical analyzer identifies and processes literals (both
number and string), cell and range references, operators, and function
calls. It assigns a unique code to each distinct operator, function, or
type of operand.
A function with no arguments is treated like a number.
Syntax Analysis
The syntactical analysis of a formula is accomplished by processing a list
of tokens in left-to-right order. A stack called the syntax is also used
during the syntactical scan. The basic algorithm is as follows:
Repeat the following steps:
1) Get the next token
2) If the token is a literal or cell reference:
a) Push the number code on the syntax stack
b) Push the number code on the syntax stack
3) If the token is a range reference:
a) Compile code to push the range reference
b) Push the range code on the syntax stack
4) Otherwise push the token code for the token on the syntax stack.
For each syntax rule, if the pattern on the top of the syntax matches the
rule pattern take the action associated with the rule and start scanning
from the beginning for any additional rules which may apply.
When a token code is pushed on the syntax stack, an additional word of
zeros is also pushed on the stack. This is used when compiling function
calls to hold the function's argument count.
Rule Matching
A relatively small number of rules are used to process formulas of arbitrary
complexity. If a rule matches the top of the syntax stack, then the
compiler takes a specific action and rule scanning starts again with the
first rule. Each rule matches certain patterns on the syntax stack. A
typical rule might be: if the top of the stack is the token for right
parenthesis, and the next-to-top is a number, and the second form the top
is a left parenthesis, then pop the top three items from the syntax stack
and push the number on the syntax stack.
This rule can be more succinctly represented as:
Stack
Before After Action
)
number
( number none
The Rules
The following are the syntax rules used to process formulas. Note that the
order of the rules is important. The rules for compilation of operators
used additional tables which assign a precedence number and opcode to each
legal unary and binary operator. Thus, for example, there is a single
token code for minus sign (-), but there are two opcodes one for unary
minus and one for binary minus. In addition, these two operators, while
lexically identical, also have different precedence. In general, operators
of higher precedence will be performed before operators of lower precedence
are performed left-to-right. All special operators (boform, eoform,
parentheses, comma, etc.) are implicitly assigned a precedence of zero.
Rule 1 Termination test

Example:
Using the above rules, we can now see how a particular formula is
compiled. Let us consider the following formula:
3+5*6
This is broken up by the lexical analyzer into seven tokens.
boform
3
+
5
*
6
eoform
The syntax scans proceed as follows until a matching rule is found:
Stack
boform number + number
boform number +
boform number
boform
Compile buffer
push 3 push 3 push 3
push 5
At this point, rule 5 is invoked, but since the precedence of boform is
zero, no action is taken.
Stack
* number
number *
+ number
number +
boform number
boform
Compile buffer
push 3 push 3
push 5 push 5
push 6
At this point, since the binary precedence of + is lower than the binary
precedence of *, rule 5 does apply, and the opcode for * is compiled. The
stack is reduced by replacing number * number by number and scan is made,
but no further rule applies.
Stack
number eoform
+ number
number +
boform number
boform
Compile buffer
push 3 push 3
push 5 push 5
push 6 push 6
Rule 5 applies again, and the opcode for + is compiled, reducing the stack
to boform, number, eoform. Rescanning finds a match on rule 1 which
compiles a return opcode and terminates. The final compiled code is thus:
push 3
push 5
push 6
*
+
return
A Note on the Decompiler
The algorithm for the formula decompiler was taken verbatim from:
Writing Interactive Compilers and Interpreters, P.J. Brown, John Wiley and
Sons, 1979. See chapter 6.2. The algorithm itself is described on pages
216 and 217.
This algorithm is also described in the following article.
More on the Re-creation of Source Code from Reverse Polish, P.J. Brown,
Software Practice and Experience, Vol 7, 545-551 (1977).
