RE: Question of retreiving the negative value in the program

Use a character field (which is one length greater than the actual
field) in the screen. Inside your program, scan for the '-' sign and if
found process accordingly.

Note: This will work fine if the user enters the data either way. 100-
or -100.

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

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

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
