Numbers Cut and Paste from HOD into excel cannot be tabulated

HOD takes the negative number from HOD and pastes it as is into excel.
The users have set up processes for copying and tabulating numbers pasted in excel based on Rumba behavior. Rumba changes the position of the - (negative sign) to prefix the number, whereas HOD leaves it suffixed.

For example
HOD 123- paste to excel 123-
Rumba 123- paste to excel -123

The same issue existed in PCOMM and IBM provided us with a fix to allow re-configuration of sessions to allow for this alternative sign location.

The change is
[Edit]
AltSignLocation=Y
