Ron,
If you're referring to the special character (L or J or whatever, depending on the last number) showing up in place of the trailing "-" when you use Field-, I don't believe there is a way to change that.  The field will redisplay correctly when you resdisplay the screen, honoring the edtcode (or edtword) you have on the field.
If this is not what you're referring to, I have no idea.
The short answer is: redisplay the screen.

We have a series of screens that will display the special character for a
negative when a negative value is entered.  The edit code is "L".  It does
not seem to matter what the edit code is set at, it still displays that
special character on the screens.  What do we need to do to get it to
display a "-" instead?

TIA
Ron
