strange behavior with MOVEL, RPGIII

Ok, I got one for ya.

File Field CFRDA, alpha, 4, value = '350P'

MoveL to a numeric 1, 0 internally defined field:

MOVELCFRDA     DIV     10

You'd expect the result to be 3.  Sometimes, but not always, it is -3.

On a movel, when factor 2 is larger (in defined size) than the result, factor 
2's sign is 
used as the sign of the result.

So, how can an alpha field be negative?  Is it having a bad day?

TIA,

--Chris
