Eval Absolute Value of Negative# into Unsigned Int

D NumWrong 3u 0
D Count1       3u 0    Dim( 5 )
D Count2       3u 0    Dim( 5 )
 
// NumWrong = 0
// Count1(i) = 8
// Count2(i) = 29
 
NumWrong += %uns( %abs( Count1(i) - Count2(i) ) );
// or
NumWrong += %abs( Count1(i) - Count2(i) );
 
Receiver value too small to hold result. 
 
I don't quite understand why this is failing.
I'm taking the absolute value, which should be 21.  Also, even after I
convert it to %uns (which I don't think I have to do) it fails.
 
Any ideas?
