Type: Integer

The return value is greater than or equal to 0 (zero).

The system automatically converts all of the numeric data types for you.

This example shows how to remove the sign from a negative numeric value. This example requires that you create the following variables and text constant in the C/AL Globals window.

	Copy Code
x := -10.235; // x is assigned a negative value y := ABS(x); // y is assigned the value of x without sign MESSAGE(Text000, x, y);

The message window displays the following:

x = -10.235, y = 10.235
