Re: minus sign in a numeric screen field

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Booth,

The non-numeric character at the end is a result of not having a place 
for the '-' sign to sit.  The screen field needs to be signed (type 'S') 
in your DDS.  Some other types may work, but that's what I always use.
