Its difficult to debug complex expressions in *info, so I would first get it working in a script. If the error message there is still too hard to pin down, try splitting the expression into pieces, maybe locap part1 = local part2 = local result = till you isolate the error. Also note that PowerPro expressions (and statements) cannot be longer than abou 512 characters: you will get cryptic error messages if they are. YOu can rename the variable to shorten. Or try something like calculating and assigning the expression to a variables, if-else just to test sign and produce either "-" or "", then ++ rest of expression (so you do not have to repeat formatting).
