*VABS
*VABS, KABSR
, KABS1
, KABS2
, KABS3
Applies the absolute value function to array parameters.
Argument Descriptions
KABSR
Absolute value of results parameter:
- 0 --
Do not take absolute value of results parameter (ParR).
- 1 --
Take absolute value.
KABS1
Absolute value of first parameter:
- 0 --
Do not take absolute value of first parameter (Par1 or ParI).
- 1 --
Take absolute value.
KABS2
Absolute value of second parameter:
- 0 --
Do not take absolute value of second parameter (Par2 or ParJ).
- 1 --
Take absolute value.
KABS3
Absolute value of third parameter:
- 0 --
Do not take absolute value of third parameter (Par3 or ParK).
- 1 --
Take absolute value.
Notes
Applies an absolute value to parameters used in certain *VXX
and *MXX
operations. Typical absolute value
applications are of the form:
ParR = |f(|Par1|)|
or
ParR = |(|Par1| o |Par2|)|
The absolute values are applied to each input parameter value before
the operation and to the result value after the operation. Absolute values
are applied before the scale factors so that negative scale factors may be
used. The absolute value settings are reset to
the default (no absolute value) after each *VXX
or *MXX
operation. Use *VSTAT to
list settings.
This command is valid in any processor.
