PowerHouse on AS/400: Entry of negative numbers

This question is related to the AS/400, only.

When one enters negative numbers into a DFU or DDS screen on the AS/400, the
"Field Minus" key (next to the 10-key pad) can be used, combining
right-justification of the digits with the ending minus sign.

My PowerHouse QUICK screens don't allow the use of the Field Minus key.
Instead, users must key the hyphen (above the "P" on the keyboard), which is
inconvenient because it's not by the 10-key pad.

Is there something that I can do in the data dictionary or in each screen,
perhaps, to enable the usage of the Field Minus key in QUICK screens?

Thank you.
