Note 1. If an overflow or underflow occurs, the DriveProgramming detects it as an error. Take necessary mea-
sures in the application so that they do not occur.
2. If the variable or the constant is the maximum negative value, −2,147,483,648, it is not possible to
convert it to an absolute value. The value −2,147,483,648 is recognized as a negative number as it is.
