Returns the absolute (unsigned) value of a number.

Syntax

@Abs( anyNumber )

Parameters

anyNumber

Number or number list. Any number valid in Lotus Notes/Domino, whether positive or negative, whole or fractional, integer or real.

absoluteValue

Number or number list. The absolute value of anyNumber.

If the parameter is a list, the function operates on each element of the list, and the return value is a list with the same number of elements.

When you use this function as the Input translation formula for a Number field, you do not have to supply the field with a default value.

You can enter a field name as the anyNumber parameter. If you do, be sure that the field you reference in an @Abs function:

• Is a number field
• Has a default value of zero
