Hello all,

I have a variable (let's say a variable X) which has negative and positive values. Problem: I want to make a variable Y which is the numerical value of X (all values are positive). I guess it is possible to use the genr-function to do the converting, i.e. Genr Y = ???? -- but how do we do it?

Regards,
T.L.

Not sure on your terminology - negative numbers are still "numerical".

But perhaps you want the @abs function?

Thanks Gareth -- problem solved. You understood me correctly. I meant "absolute value" :-)
