278304-249000 which is 29304


but the info You posted before shows ---

Code:
249000000000000052730M01



a quick and dirty computation shows that
278304 + 249000 ==> 527304
and that
( -278304 ) - 249000 ==> - 527304
which is exactly what You got
( any decent IT practitioner would have noticed that )

I am subtracting smaller number from greater number

Your analysis could not be more wrong ...

subtracting a negative number from a negative number gives a MORE negative number

and a negative number was what You had in some preceding computations

again ... the topic is becoming a waste of time for everybody and it should be locked as I did before
