Sbyte and sword

[Ivano]

Hello everybody,
it is the first time that I use negative numbers and I have not understood how to handle them.
In the manual it indicates sbytes from -128 to + 127.
If I write:
Dim A as sbyte
A = - 2
Print at 1,1, dec A
Appears on the LCD display
254 instead of - 2
Same behavior though
Dim A as byte
Do I have to do some other operation to handle negative numbers?
thank you

Use SDEC

How stupid, I had read it long ago in the manual but I did not remember it.
Thanks so much John
