[ Type code = - (hyphen / minus sign)] May be typed anywhere in the field, but is always displayed (during entry) to the left of the field. On exit, it is redisplayed as a trailing minus sign (for codes $, H, M), and relocated to the beginning for the returned variable. For example, if "1234-" is entered, it will be redisplayed as "12.34-" (assuming decimal points are not allowed) and returned to the calling program as "-1234."
