Summary: When a signed variable is DISPLAYed, the last character is an alphanumeric. In a signed numeric variable, the sign is combined with the least-significant digit. If the variable is DISPLAYed in signed numeric form, the least-significant digit will appear in hexadecimal. To DISPLAY sign and digits, the number must first be MOVEd to an unsigned or edited numeric variable.
