Code Table ID		Domain of Values
		-99999999999 – +99999999999

Special Instructions
All amount fields should be rounded to the nearest dollar, e.g., $109.50 is coded as "110", and $109.49 is coded as "109". When reporting BUDGET-AMOUNT and ACTUAL-AMOUNT, all revenues, expenditures, and fund balances are shown as unsigned positive numbers. In rare cases, some accounts may need to appear as negative numbers, such as when a deficit fund balance occurs. In ASCII data, a negative number is represented by changing the last digit in the number to one of several character symbols. The symbols indicate the last digit of the number and that the entire number is negative. For example, ASCII uses the dollar sign ($) to indicate that the last digit is an integer 4 and that the entire number is negative. Thus, the number -1234 is saved in ASCII as 123$.
