For DFSORT, the syntax for the SIGNS parameter is
SIGNS=(lp,ln,tp,tn)
where lp specifies the leading positive sign, ln specifies the leading negative sign, tp specifies the trailing positive sign and tn specifies the trailing negative sign.
For:
EDIT=(**II,TTT,TTXS),SIGNS=(,,+,-))
The S in EDIT indicates a trailing sign. The + in SIGNS is the trailing positive sign and the - is the trailing negative sign. Since there's no leading sign in the edit mask, the leading positive and negative signs are skipped by specifying commas for them.
