Hi,

I am trying to use Abs() function to remove - symbols in the data,but when i am using this ,i am getting data issue.i.e. decimals are not coming.

for ex:

old data: -123.45

if i use Abs() i am getting new data like 123

can any one help me on this...?

You will have trouble getting decimal places from the ABS function since it returns an integer result. I don't have the docs available but seem to remember that there was some decimal function that could do this, or you could do "ABS(In.Data*100)/100" for decimals variables with 2 places of precision.

The Parallel Job Developer's Guide documents the "fabs" function, which will do exactly what you want.
