What do you mean display the sign?
Compare the field to zero and display "-" or "+".
If you want to see the hex code then you have more of a problem.
The sign byte can be f, c or d.
f = Unsigned. Assumed to be positive
c = Positive.
d = Negative.
View the output of a dump
Output the field to a file and view the file in an Hex editor
Use a complex operation of and's and if's and redefines to work out what the sign is.
