The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

We have an application that reads a scale weight with a device and then an
RPG program prints a label. The user can also manually input the weight.
In testing, we discovered that dashes/minus signs can be input in the middle
of the number, but are ignored in the program. So 5-6 will be seen as 56
and 45--6 will be 456.
We're running V5R4. The DDS code is:
A $SCALEWGT 7 2B +2
A EDTCDE(4)
A DSPATR(PC)
The /free code is:
Write MSSLBBL09;
ExFmt MSSLBBL09;
In debug, the very next statement displays 5-6 as 56.
Is this normal behavior? Every other key combination we tried (letters, *,
!, =, &) caused an input inhibited error. Does the system ignore a
dash/minus sign except at the end of the number?
