Sign Control (SP, SS, S)

After SP has been used, positive numbers will be written with a leading + sign; after SS has been used the + sign is suppressed. The S descriptor restores the initial default which is system-dependent. These descriptors have no effect on numerical input. The initial default is restored at the start of every new formatted transfer.
