Position 40 (Sign Handling)

Entry
Explanation
Blank
The sign is always forced on input and output of zoned numeric fields.

Position 40 must be blank to ensure a consistent + or - sign when data is extracted or moved from or to numeric input or output fields. When data is moved to unpacked numeric fields in output records, the valid external signs are forced.
