As Andrew says, I think you will need to indicate in the attributes that the field can accept a negative by using a template like "_____________V". Just change this in the screen painter... it's the "Text" field on the Attributes for an Input/Ouput field.

In the attributes of the field in the table control you need to put template characters to indicate where the sign goes - I think _ _ _ _ _ _ _V (not sure if V is for decimal point or for sign? - I think it is in the ABAP help / Doco, or you could look at a similar field on a standard screen.
