Values in XML (Read 217 times)

Just wondering if a value (variable) in XML can be declared an "absolute value". The intent is to convert any negative number returned to a positive. Any ideas?

In theroy it sounds good but I am not sure if it will work.
You can try to google the word XML and it should give you some sites to check out, you should be able to find your answers in one of the sites listed. Or maybe someone here will know for sure I have never tried that but like I said it sounds like it might but the syntax is the key. 8)

I think it should be as simple as
(L:some_variable, number) abs (>L:some_variable, number)

I recommend a check at the FFDS forums. They have an entire section in there devoted to XML creation. Should be easy to get an answer; in fact, there probably already is one.

Thanks guys! Doug, the "abs" does work. You can use " (A:Some_Variable, number) abs " to return the absolute values of any of the variables.
