Then simply add an ABS at the beginning.

Probably easier to remove the decimal point and use two ASTO's to X and L to get the 12 digits, then rebuild the integer in alpha and do ANUM.
Would still get quite long, I think.

Note quite that long. The original routine already worked for all exponents within ±99, and X may be zero, negative or positive. The additional routine I posted in the meantime works for any exponent.
