Floating minus in input.....

[Brian Stephens]

This one is a little odd for me... On Unix and PH 7

I have a field coming from a windows based  ERP. which can have a leading
floating minus.. (decimal thankfully is implied)

The field in PH is defined as ZONED NUMERIC and I'm getting conversion
errors on any record that has the minus sign almost like its expecting only
numbers..

I read the file in COBOL as well and they are doing a brute force
inspect/tally/replace and then multiply the result in Working Storage..
(Program is from the early 70's!)
