Hi All,
I have a numeric data which is defined as
W-AMOUNT W 14 N 2 Mask '$$$$$$$$$$$9.99-'
In this case '-' sign is coming at end of the field in report. When I tried using Mask '-$$$$$$$$$$$9.99' to get '-' sign in the beginning of the field it is giving me error.
Please let me know is there any method to display '-' sign in the begining of data with '$' sign. |

Because you use a currency mask, the sign will always be appended.
So there is no way to prefix the sign.
Thats normal i never saw something like this :
-$1000.00 |

When I am using this field in LINE statement for report like
LINE COL 42 W-AMOUNT
it gets displayed from column 45 instead of 42.
Do I need to do some special processing for starting amount at 42 column. |

Maybe some spaces are prepended as filler?
Prepended means something like "put in front of" |
