What does your code look like?

Hi Peacealida,

step1:For this problem you have to take * in front of the display file variable..
Ex *666666)--Like something variable in display file

step2:It invokes select field keywords screen in that you have to select editing keywords Y

step3:set the EDTCDE as Q then remove the EDTWRD some thing like ' , '

It will assign the negative sign left of the variable..If it is negative value it will display the negative or if it is positive it wont display the negative at left side of the variable..
