public final Class AbsExpression

extends AbstractSingleEncapsulatedExpression
Class Inheritance
The ABS function removes the minus sign from a specified argument and returns the absolute value, which is always a positive number or zero.

This is one of the JPQL arithmetic functions. The ABS function takes a numeric argument and returns a number (integer, float, or double) of the same type as the argument to the function.

JPA 1.0, 2.0:

BNF: expression ::= ABS(simple_arithmetic_expression)

JPA 2.1:
BNF: expression ::= ABS(arithmetic_expression)

Example: SELECT DISTINCT o FROM Order o WHERE o.totalPrice > ABS(:dbl)
