Increments a variable by the specified amount. The variable must contain a valid number. If the variable is blank, zero is assumed.
Used to increase the value of a "counter" variable. Normally counters are used inside of a loop.
Specifies the name of the variable to increment.
Specifies the value that the variable should be incremented (increased) by.
Using Variables
All variables must be created before they can be used. This is done using
the Create
Variable <AMVARIABLE>
action. Once created, variables can be set using the Set
Variable <AMSET> action, or by certain actions that support
populating variables. To get data out of the variables, in any action
parameter, simply surround the variable name with percentage % signs (e.g.
%varname%). Remember not to use percentage signs when specifying
the name of a variable to populate, percentage signs are only needed to
get data out.
Standard Error Handling Options
This action also includes the standard "Error Causes" and "On
Error" failure handling options/tabs

Variables and Expressions
All text fields allow the use of expressions by surrounding the expression
in percentage signs (example: %MYVARIABLE%, %Left('Text',2)%). To help
construct these expressions, a popup expression builder is available in
all these fields by pressing F2.
