ABS is the mathematical function “Absolute Value” of a number.
Example:
| 
					 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8  | 
						var1 = -12 var2 = 5 myresult = var1 / var2  myABSresult = ABS(var1 / var2) RETURN myresult AS "not absolute value", myABSresult AS "absolute value"  | 
					
Return values are :
| 
					 1 2 3  | 
						myresult = -2.4 myABSresult = 2.4  | 
					
							ABS
