Re: %editc an expression

Correction:  
change you Alpha to 15a and you will get the "-". It
is cutting it off. Or do as others have said and do a
trim of some kind. But tyr ther 15a first.

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,
