Re: losing the negative sign?

ulitmately it is printed with a "K" but the org, field is 7 len. does it
lose the sign under what circumstances, would you see it losing the sign if
at all?


Using MOVE will preserve the sign, which is stored in the final byte of the
field. One thing I have seen before is not having enough room on a report
for the next field, and having the leading digit of it (typically blank)
overlay the trailing sign of the previous field. It is something you may
not readily notice in casual testing if all the fields normally have
positive values.
