Re: Enter minus and the } character

I am not sure that what I am seeing is what I think I am seeing. Maybe
it has always been like this, but this seems like new behavior.

I have a DSPF with a 5/0 in a numeric field.**
**
ADDDAYS 5Y 0B 16 19EDTCDE(N)**
**
It worked just fine, and when Enter(-) was keyed, I would see the } at
the right side. It is what I expected.

I then changed a line of code up above, unrelated to this field, and the
screen would no longer compile. I tried various EDTCDE()s and finally,
in desperation I tried**

**ADDDAYS 5S 0B 16 19

Well didn't my socks fall off! It compiled fine, then I tried it out
and Enter(-) gave me the field with the number followed by an ordinary
minus sign ( no } ). It had not been processed; it behaved just like it
always has, except for displaying the number properly.

Has it always been like this, and I didn't realize it?

it happened, if you want to look at it
