Test condition and convert number to negative

I would like to check a field IF AttendDet.ActClockIn = 12:00 or 22:30 and AttendDet.TotActTime = 0.50 THEN convert the 0.50 to a negative number, ELSE null or nothing.

I figured out how to get the number to negative by multiplying it by (-1)... now for the rest of it.

OK, sorry for the delay.
The ActClockIn field type is string.
I realized that by changing the sign of the {AttendDet.TotActTime} amount of 0.50 to negative it was doubling the effect I was looking. So I simply changed it to, THEN 0

IF {AttendDet.ActClockOutTime}='12:30' OR {AttendDet.ActClockOutTime}='23:00' AND
{AttendDet.TotActTime}=0.50 THEN 0
ELSE {AttendDet.TotActTime}

'12:30' and '23:00' are the times that the automatic break calculations end. I erroneously had the second break end time set at '22:30' changed to '23:00'...
I needed to filter out the automatic break time.

Thank you James0628 and mlmcc for your always valuable assistance!

You both answered the original question; then I changed it once I realized I had misstated my requirement. As always I value your input.

Cheers, Lee
