Re: Question of retreiving the negative value in the program

Hi
 
I know when i enter 100- as the input i am getting the value as negative. 
But the question i like to ask is is there any way i can retreive the nagative 
value in the program if the user enters -100 in the screen field.
 
I am using
 
CVAR1             S           3P 0  INZ(0)
 
 this is the varaible that hold the value entered be the user in the screen 
field FLD001 whihc is given as 
 
 A            FLD001           3Y 0B  9 33
 
The program works fine for negative condition if the user enters 100-. 
Is it possibel to catch -100 entered?.            Please excuse me if my 
questions seems to be dumb.
 
Thanks a lot
Hari

using to recover the value?

(This sounds like something else is going on. There should be little
problem in getting a negative number.)

Subject: Question of retreiving the negative value in the program

Hi

How to retreive the neagtive value entered by the user from the screen to
the program.
I have a numeric field Var1. If I enter a value as -100, inside the program
i am getting the value as 100. So the condition for negative valued gets
skipped.
I have alos tried few Editcodes and but i ends in vain.
Could anyone tell me how to capture the negative values (entered in the
screen) inside the RPFLE program.


Thanks
Hari
