Is this in the numeric field, or in one of the other fields?

'1}' is what it shows when using the U.S. standard codepages.   I don't
know what it should show in France, but '1è' seems reasonable.

It should not show -1000 when you hit enter, however.   But, again, I
can not reproduce this.

This appears to be the same issue.  In both cases, it's adding two zeroes.

I'd be happy to try to solve this issue, but I need to be able to
reproduce the problem on my side.

Can you send me the DDS for this screen?  So that I can reproduce the
problem on my end?

Or could you write a small, simple, RPG or CL program that demonstrates
the problem?

Or, if you can't do either of those things, can you send me a trace file?

(send the trace file to me directly, not to the list, please -- my E-mail
address should be at the top of this message)
