The Presentation Client supports signed numeric. By default, the signed numerics appear in a single field with their numeric value and sign concatenated.
The signed numeric fields have the sign and the field data combined into a single field, instead of having a separate sign field. As a consequence, the zero values in an ED (-) field are displayed without the sign and are shown as 0. Therefore, you must type the minus sign to specify a negative value.
Optionally, you can also choose to display the sign of signed numerics in separate fields. This affects all fields of type ED;+, ED;- ED;C and ED;S.
To enable separate signed field for signed numerics, find the following text in the properties file:
#SeparateSigns = false
Change the value of SeparateSigns to true and save the file.
Notes:
The default value of the SeparateSigns field is false.
The sample properties file ViewResources.template is included in the LINCViewer.jar file.
To open the properties file:
Open the LINCViewer.jar file from <root directory>\NGEN_CE\Lib using WinZip and extract the ViewResources.template file to your hard disk preserving the directory structure.
Make a copy of the ViewResources.template in the same directory and rename it as ViewResources_<lang>_<countrycode>.properties. Refer to Naming Translated Properties File.
Open the properties file in the text editor.
