It's good practice to make such values into named numbers.

Technically, 'Image for numeric types begins with the sign, which is ' ' for 
non-negative numbers and '-' for negative values. That doesn't make it any more 
user friendly.

There are a number of ways to "get rid" of the space. Probably the easiest is to 
slice the image to exclude the 1st Character. See ARM 4.1.2.
