Description

Setting $SPACE_FOR_MINUS_SIGN = 1 causes Uniface to add a trailing space for a positive number when the format contains a trailing minus sign, for example, DIS(b99-).

Since Uniface 6.1e, layout display code B (for "Spaces for suppressed zeros, minus (-) and plus (+) signs") has not worked in a consistent way. This setting has been introduced to enforce consistent behavior, yet allow for the current behavior in later versions of Uniface.
