Hi Vincent,
If a macro variable is an acceptable
environmental place to hold the value
then you will like knowing that the
%SYSFUNC() function allows resolution
of most of the datastep functions into
the macro world outside of the datastep.
e.g.
%let myVar=%sysfunc(abs(-3));
%put myVar is >&myVar<;
Hope this is helpful.

Subject: sas absolute value function
Hi All,
Is there any sas function for absolute value which can be used outside
data step? abs() can only be used data step.
thanks,
Vincent
