Use ABS function or multiple it with minus 1

f1 = ABS ( f1 ).

f1 = f1 * -1.

Hi vamsi,

simply:

reverse the sign using

value = - value.

remove the sign:

value = abs( value ).

Hi,

Use ABS function.

Ex.

DATA: T1(10),

T2(10) VALUE '-100'.

T1 = ABS( T2 ).

WRITE T1.

This produces the following output:

100

Two conversions are performed. First, the contents of field T2 (type C) are converted

to type P. Then the system processes the ABS function using the results of the

conversion. Then, during the assignment to the type C field T1, the result of the

function is converted back to type C.
