These options are described below:

MOVE: This is used to copy the contents of one variable to another, or to
set a variable to a value or text string. To clear a variable set it to “ ”.

APPEND: Appends a variable or text string onto the end of another. This is
often used in building a record for sending to the host.

ADD: This will convert the variable into a number and add a value.

SUBTRACT: This will convert the variable into a number and subtract a
value.

TRANSFER: Transfers are the most powerful way of manipulating
variables. These allow you to edit the contents of a variable in the same way
you can edit the screen using the display operations.

The following sub-menu lists your options here:
