Calculated Variable

Hi,

I would like to hand over the value of one variable to another, and tried it with following let statement, which does not work?

(vCountry_Count = 1)

LET vPeeking = $(vCountry_Count);

Additinal question, once this is working I would like to  deduct -1 from Country_Count in the vPeeking Variable.

(vCountry_Count = 1)

is not a valid script statement and will return a null result. A valid statement would be without the () and an added; 

vCountry_Count = 1;

This defaults to LET and I recommend you explicitly code either LET or SET.  There is no need to favor LET over SET unless you are calculating an expression.  So a valid set of statements would be:

SET vCountry_Count = 1;
SET vPeeking = $(vCountry_Count);

And to subtract 1 from vPeeking:

LET vPeeking = $(vPeeking) - 1;

Perhaps this?

Set vCountry_Count = 1;

LET vPeeking = $(vCountry_Count)-1;
