How does one go about converting a COBOL trailing sign numeric into a BigDecimal?
I have a COBOL trailing sign numeric like so: 00000123455-
I want to convert this to a BigDecimal resulting in -1234.55
I've been able to successfully convert the opposite way, BigDecimal to COBOL trailing sign, using NumberFormat and DecimalFormat with a format string like so '000000000.00+;000000000.00-'
