Re: %editc an expression

I don't have any problem:

1 d Wrkpls          s       10
                                      
2 d Mp1pls          s      5  2 Inz(1.00)  
                         
3 c   Evalr     Wrkpls = %Editc(Mp1pls * -1  : 'J' :
'$')

WRKPLS = '    $1.00-

Amt is 9s,2 

ExtPrice$ is 14a

Amt = 50

C Eval Amt *= -1

C Eval ExtPrice$ = %editc( Amt: 'J': '$' ) 

Results as $50.00-.  Which is what I want to see.

 

C Eval ExtPrice$ = %editc(Amt * -1: 'J': '$') 

Results as $50.00.  (no minus sign)

Why is this?  What am I missing?  Something about
the intermediate
result of the expression?

Thanks,
