Hi,

I believe we cannot have a sgined variable when I am receiving a value from the map into my program. Lets say variable A has PIC X(4) and I add -123 from the map which is received and moved to a variable B which is PIC S9(4) COMP. Will this variable B treat the value '123' as negative and correctly process the data?

For example if B is now added to C (value +123) to give D, will D have a value of zero or would it result in a value of 246?

Thanks

abracadabra,

Most shops have a NUMERIC edit program which will reformat the contents from the screen to the actual values. In this case you need to inspect/unstring and move the contents accordingly.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
