Hello.

It's just a matter of moving your non-displayable value to a field that is displayable. So, for S9(5)V9(2), a field defined as -9(5).9(2) would give you a result which would be an minus sign (or blank if the number is positive) and your number with leading zeros. Changing the minus to a plus means the sign is shown whether positive or negative. A definition of -Z9(4)9.9(2) would give you a result without the leading zeros.
