I've only been able to get a negative number in a signed numeric field (data 
type
S in DDS) but not in Numeric (data type Y in DDS).  Our order entry program uses
the Y; CA allows negative numbers there.

When a negative number is in the signed numeric field, the negative sign will 
not
go away when keying a positive number or just field exit with the field blank.
Then the program crashes because of the - in the field.

>From debug (STRISDB) pressing F9 retrieves the previous command.  If I make a
change to that command and press enter, tn5250 seems to only send back what
I typed rather than the whole command that is displayed on my screen.
Example: testing an RPG program that has *in90 and *in91.  Type "w *in90" 
without
quotes, of course; press enter.  Press F9; change the 90 to 91; press enter
again.  ISDB reports "Statement 1 not found." indicating it only got the 1
instead of the whole "w *in91".  (It says "Statement 2 not found." if I change 
it
to *in92, etc.)
