Re: 5250 "Field Plus" key

Off the top of my head;

Field plus puts a positive indicator on the number you typed, just like the
field minus key would make the number a minus.

Field exit does not put a positive indicator on the number, but puts a
neutral indication instead, that is assumed to be positive.  The last nibble
of the field containing the number has the positive or negative indication
in it.
