Absolute value

Note: 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.
