In every language I've seen -(variable name) "flips the sign". RPG is no exception. eval MyVar = -10 Eval MyOtherVar = -MyVar is the same as saying MyOtherVar = -(-10) which is +10. Regards, Jim Langston -----Original Message----- From: Richard B Baird [mailto:rbaird@esourceconsulting.com] Jon, you say that preceding a variable name with a sign is legal syntax - but that begs the question: what is produced by this syntax? ie. if you precede a variable with a neg sign, will it flip the sign of the variable (pos to neg or visa versa) or will it work like the opposite of %abs()? where it would always provide the negative representation of the number, regardless of what it's original sign is. just curious... rick
