Hello,

dealing with number in Oracle is quite simple. There is no special thing to do to store negative values. A variable declared as "number" will do the trick.
For more info about the number datatype, see the on-line Oracle manuals on :
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server.817/a76965/c10datyp.htm#743

Success,

epe
