I have a SQL UDF for this. It just converts the char to its corresponding numeric value with a negative sign.

Subject: parse a negative number out of a before image string
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'?
