What do you want to do instead? Swallow the negative value? Insert a - before/after the number?
There's no built-in method to do that in CPYF, but there are tools and programming techniques. So you're going to have to write something.

The only way I would know short of writing something would be that you copy to an import file (like a csv or tab) in the ifs and with the field definitions it would put out -14.55 for you but obviously the file format would be different than it is now.

Bob,
Yes, I want to retain the -ve sign in the flat file. And I guessed there is no direct way using CPYF.
clbirk,
Yes, with the limitation of Input & Output file format, best way to achieve this is to write a small RPG and that's what I did.
Thanks to both of you for your reponses.
Deepak
