  • Subject: Hex codes showing up when field minus used.

Hi there!

Quick question, hope somebody has the answer.  I have an 11.3 input/output
field in a display file.  It is used for positive and negative quantity
adjustments.  The only check I have on the field is FE and there are no edit
codes.  The problem occurs when the field minus key is used to input a
negative quantity.  Instead of showing for example a 25- I get a 25}.  When
I use CHECK(RB) and put in 25- I get a 2N, or for 14- I get a 1M.  These
seem like hex codes.  The actual program data I'm getting from the fields is
correct, but the hex interpretation is annoying and possibly confusing to
the user.  Curious if anyone's had this problem.
