The center of a(n endomorphism) ring is a PID

Let $A$ be a torsion-free Abelian group, and let $\mbox{End}(A)$ be its endomorphism ring. Denote by $R\doteq\mathbf{Z}(\mbox{End}(A))$ the center of $\mbox{End}(A)$. What would be necessary and/or sufficient conditions on $A$ for $R$ to be a PID? Thank you.
