Re: Question of retreiving the negative value in the program

[Alan C <steelville@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are probably entering the code just like that, [ hyphen, one, zero, 
zero, Field-Exit ]. (Or maybe Field+ instead of Field-Exit).

If this is what I think, try going back to your screen and type instead 
as follows:  [ one, zero, zero, Field-Minus ].  Or, [ one, zero, zero, 
hyphen, Field-Exit ] maybe.

I suspect this will cure your problem. However, you have certain 
data-type-code in the display file DDS source that governs what keys may 
be typed for the field, and how the keys are treated that are used for 
numeric values.
