Hi,

DATA N TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

DATA M TYPE P DECIMALS 2 VALUE '-5.55'.

N = ABS( M ). WRITE: 'ABS: ', N.

Pls. reward if useful....

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.

or

*********

var1 = -46.

MULTIPLY var1 BY -1.

*********

output will then be:

var1 = 46.

hope this will help...
