Re: bug in tn5250 - 0.17-1

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what it SHOULD do... the previous versions of tn5250 were in
error.   0.17.1 is doing it correctly.

'20}' is -200.   '200}' is -2000.

That's the way zoned decimal numbers work on the AS/400.   

the older versions of tn5250 would change "200-" into -2000, effectively
multiplying the results by 10.
