RE: Replace minus sign

Actually if the number was -5 the result of your code would be (-5).

Using the same condition as Michael provided, you can use this statement
to get the number in parentheses.
strAmount = '(' + %trimL( %editC( Amount: 'Z' ) ) + ')';

If Amount < 0;
strAmount = '(' + %Char(Amount) + ')';
Else;
strAmount = %Char(Amount);
EndIf;
