using -SET and formatting result [SOLVED]

I need to format the result of a -SET to be an I8B format.

MY command is
-SET &RemCURP = (&YTDCURP + &BLCURP - &PlanCURP);
eg.
-SET &RemCURP = (5 + 4 - 12)
gives me a value of -3 for &RemCURP

I am inserting &RemCURP into a Web Page with this command.
RemCURP.value = "!IBI.AMP.RemCURP;";

On the web page I need it in the I8B format. So either a way to format it in the exec or the web page would work for me.

Thanks,

Tim

EDIT - Solved Note
Thanks Francis. I spent some time messing with FTOA but was using I8B and getting a return of 0. Your solution worked well for me. I wound up going with this
-SET &RemCURP = (&YTDCURP + &BLCURP - PlanCURP);
-SET &RemCURP = FTOA(&RemCURP,'(D8B)','A12');

Try something like this:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

-SET &N1 = 365 * (-1);

-SET &N2 = FTOA(&N1, '(D8B)', 'A12')

-TYPE &N1 / &N2

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
!IBI.AMP.N2;
-HTMLFORM END


FTOA: Converting a Number to Alphanumeric Format. D8B is equivalent to I8B for the purposes of this conversion (integers cannot be used in this function). A12 gives enough space to display a (99,999,999) field.
