In binary (as stated). The value in 16 bit can be -32368 to 32367
which is a larger range than -9999 to 9999.

Pedantically, the range is -32768 to +32767, which
is the range that applies when the NOTRUNC
compiler directive is used, as is true in the case
of the record layout in question. [Important for any
who may wish to write the requested program.]
