    Damn again the same question 😉 I'm kidding! Just in case the answer is bellow 😊

    Someone did just ask the question!

    why don't you check the answer

    But here is a copy paste of the answer:)

    Hi !

    1)

    if number < 0.

    number = number * ( -1 ).

    endif.

    2° BEST ONE

    why don't you try ABS? (absolute value)

    don't forget reward!!!!

    if TheValue < 0.

    TheValue = TheValue * -1.

    endif.

    Or

    Take the absolute value of each value - syntax is ABS (TheValue)

    Please reward points appropriately.
