ABS Intrinsic Function

A new intrinsic function, ABS (or ABSOLUTE-VALUE), has been added. This function takes a single numeric argument, and returns a single numeric value that is the absolute value of the argument passed. The syntax is as follows:
    move function ABS( num-val ) to num-val2.   
The function name ABSOLUTE-VALUE can be used as a synonym for ABS.

A complete discussion of intrinsic functions can be found in Appendix P of Book 4, ACUCOBOL-GT Appendices.
