How can I test / compare signs i.e., is integer + or -

[twister]

I'm messing around with DOS qbasic. With DOS there is a function SGN which will return any +1 for a positive value, 0 for zero, and -1 for any negative value. Does MMF2 Dev have a single function of this? thx

Value / Abs( Value )

No, but thx, The abs converts a neg to a pos. I need to know if the number is negative, a -12 would set a counter to a -1, a positive 12 would set a counter to a +1. I can compare a number with "greater, lower or equal, which requires three actions. I'm looking for a single function instead.

You didn't read it properly.
-12 / abs( -12 ) = -12 / 12 = -1
+12 / abs( +12 ) = 12 / 12 = +1
0 / abs( 0 ) = 0 / 0 = 0
