weird numeric field display problem...

I've got a field defined in a display file as:
     A            SFE_TWLORT     7Y04B  8 29

SDA shows this field as: "999.9999"
When the program displays it, it shows as "0011000 " (for a value of 1.1).
When I type in "1.1" and field exit, and press Enter, it returns as
"0011000 ".  I am expecting it to be displayed as "  1.1000"; no sign is
required.

What am I missing here?  Why does SDA format the number differently than
what shows from the program?

TIA, GA
