Hello again,

By the way, Alex released a PTF for his utility in June, 2003.  The
following text is his description of what the PTF fixes:

   Section 1 - Problem Description & Fix Log
   =========================================

   This PTF document discusses the following problems in the CVTPFXLS
   Utility.

   1) June 30, 2003. Problem occurs on signed packed numeric fields with
      decimal position.  For example, -155.678 appears as 155.678
      dropping the negative sign after conversion.  This PTF fixes this
      problem.

If that sounds like the error that you're experiencing, you might want to
download a new copy from the URL above.  Read the file called PTF.TXT in
the .ZIP file for info about installing the PTF.
