A field of type NUMC is a numeric value in which each byte is a digit in character format, and the sign is represented by a sign-specific hexadecimal value in the left half of the rightmost byte. The length reflects both the number of digits and the number of bytes and ranges from 1 to 18.
// for decimal 1234 F1 F2 F3 C4 // for decimal -1234 F1 F2 F3 D4
The internal hexadecimal representations of example values are as follows if the field is on a workstation environment like Windows® 2000, which uses ASCII:
// for decimal 1234 31 32 33 34 // for decimal -1234 31 32 33 74
