Definition

If fields referring to this domain can contain negative values, this flag must he set.

When the field contents are output on the screen, the first position of the output is reserved for a plus/minus sign. If the indicator is not set but the field contains negative values, problems might occur during screen output. You can only make entries in this field for data types DEC, FLTP, QUAN, and CURR, as well as for decimal floating point numbers.
