How do I do simply math functions like adding/subtracting&nbsp;two numbers? I know I can do this in script, but thats just a silly requirement if thats the case. I was expecting to be able to use Set Variable with a new value of %valueone%-%valuetwo% and force type to Integer, but it just fails... What am I missing?

Thanks, TJ

Hi Tim   
  
 Unfortunately Script is the only option at this time. I will see if we can get some math actions or additions to the current actions for the next version of automise.
