Warning
Helix documentation is moving from docs.bmc.com to docs.helixops.ai
Key pages will redirect to the new domain on May 26, 2026. However, some legacy documentation links will not be redirected.
In-product help links might not work after migration as we transition and update them within the product.

Assigning values by using arithmetic operations
You can use arithmetic operations, such as "+ " or "- " to compute a value that you can use in a Set Fields action. The same arithmetic operations allowed for specifying qualifications are used to build a computed value (see Operators). The operation must meet all of the rules for arithmetic operations and produce a result with a type that is compatible with the target field.
If you include a process result or DDE result (active links only) in a mathematical operation, the process definition must not be contained within parentheses and it must be the last item in the operation because all data after the tag $PROCESS$ or $DDE$ is considered to be part of the command line or DDE definition.
In some cases, arithmetic operators can also be used for concatenation. Some examples of valid arithmetic operators are:
