DB2 Data load

I am going to load the DB2 table which has column as BILLING_DET DECIMAL(15).

The input file for the load job (SYSREC) has data in the format below:
Text-Data CHAR(15) VALUE = +000023400000

How can I store the sign in BILLING_DET column of DB2 table.

Numeric DB2 columns are always signed; you need do nothing.

'Numeric DB2 columns are always signed; you need do nothing.'

It does not work as negative sign is not loaded into DECIMAL field.

So please let me know how can I perform the below:

How do you know that the sign is not being carried by the DB2 column? Have you retrieved it into a numeric edited field?

My query is for Load job only. I am getting an input PS file with AMT-FIELD in CHAR(15) format with first character as sign and then loading that file into a DB2 table with AMOUNT field defined as DECIMAL(15)

The question was, rephrased, can you confirm that after the load you have verified whether the sign on the data in the DB is correct.

Things on the Mainframe are usually more specific than "an error". There are probably many thousands of ways you could get "an error". Without detail (the control cards and full message details) there's not much to be done.

why not read the manuals for the utility being used to find out the formats for the different data types ?
