so i have string in my sqlrpgle that was produced from a trigger that
contains a negative numeric value in it...
for reference as such... '121200000002632J07182016 '

My negative value is 002632J0, (defined 7,2) which in the table shows
263.21-

Assuming I can "acquire" that string from the before image string, once I
have it in a host variable, how do I convert it to a proper string showing
'-263.21'?
