DxaccPrintAmount returns always absolute value?

[Christian Stimming]

Hi,

I recently discovered that all amounts in, say, the Profit and Loss Report 
are positive. Somehow all minus signs disappeared... and this happens in 
the function 

  DxaccPrintAmount (double dval, GNCPrintAmountInfo info)

by calling

  val = double_to_gnc_numeric (ABS (dval), 10000, GNC_RND_ROUND);

Is it intentional that there will be no negative amounts printed? The 
respective scheme function, gnc:amount->string-helper, is nothing more 
than a wrapper for DxaccPrintAmount right now, so one of these two 
funtions should probably be changed. 

It seems that the absolute value in DxaccPrintAmount was checked in CVS 
with the following log entry:
revision 1.6 
date: 2000/11/08 10:53:35;  author: peticolas;  state: Exp;  lines: +44 -74
More numerics conversions.

So, Dave, how do we get the negative amounts into the reports?
