Simply put an uppercase V at the end of the underscores in the text box.

Associate the screen field to a data dic data element that permits negative numbers (in the field atributes).

Sounds like your field in the screen is not defined properly, In the screen, go to the element list tab, then General attributes tab, under the "Format" column, change it to DEC with an appropriate length.
