Absolute value
Most Sirius $functions have been deprecated in favor of Object Oriented methods. The OO equivalent for the $Abs function is the Absolute function.
The $Abs function returns the absolute value of its given argument.
Syntax
%num = $Abs(x)
For example:
$ABS(-50) = 50 $ABS(6) = 6
See the SIRFUNC EXEC parameter for an explanation of when this high-performance, high-precision version of the IBM mathematical function from the Sirius Mods is used, as opposed to the version of the $function in the Model 204 FUND or FUNDLE CSECT.
