The Problem
The amount field is in COBOL format and may contain a special character (see table
below) if the amount is negative. To convert these to standard negative integers you will need to replace the right most character with its associated integer and then multiple the number by negative 1. For example, if the
amount it 20] replace the ] with 0 and to get 200. Then multiple by negative 1. The correct
amount is –200.
