Subj:		Signed numeric data

From:		Michael Graham

We are coding multiload scripts to load data that has been extracted from a Bull mainframe. The data is ftp'd to one of the teradata nodes and multiload is run on that node. The data has a trailing sign "overpunched" in the least significant digit. i.e. A is +1, J is -1, etc. Has anyone run across this before and if you have how did you handle it.

We are running a 4800 system with release V2R.03.00.00.21 version 03.00.00.29.

Any response would be appreciated.
