You don't need a Fm to achieve that. Just multiply your numeric value to -1.

sample code:

****************

var1 = 46.

MULTIPLY var1 BY -1.

*************

output will be:

var1 = -46.

*********

var1 = -46.

MULTIPLY var1 BY -1.

*********

output will then be:

var1 = 46.

hope this will help...
