here the usage clause is DISPLAY which is default. so each
digit takes one byte to store and the sign is punched with
the last digit..

so it will be stored as 1234N.

note:
numbers punched with '+' sign
0 - {
1 - A
2 - B
3 - C
4 - D
5 - E
6 - F
7 - G
8 - H
9 - I


numbers punched with '-' sign
0 - }
1 - J
2 - K
3 - L
4 - M
5 - N
6 - O
7 - P
8 - Q
9 - R

hope this is clear
