Hi All,

I am looking for the PICTURE declaration to display a numeric value, which should display drifting Dollar/Pound sign with Minus

For Example
DCL Var1 PIC'-£££,££9.V99' INIT (-123.25)

I want the display as (-£123.25), but the above is displaying as
(- £123.25)

Thank you

The manual states that you can have a drifting blank, currency synbol or sign. That would suggest you can't have both.
