<sigh> I'll try once more.
You CAN NOT apply a unary minus to an integer variable as you want to do.
And I understand that the value is in 'dopmins' already, and you don't
want to change that. Therefore what you HAVE to do is 1) create a NEW
variable, 2) set it to the NEGATIVE of 'dopmins', and 3) adjust by the
new, negative variable. Therefore:
# Step #1 -- create NEW variable
INT negative_dopmins
# Step #2 -- set it to negative of 'dopmins'
# Note that: 0-dopmins gives -dopmins
SET negative_dopmins 0
SUB negative_dopmins dopmins
# Step #3 -- adjust by
ADJUST_USER_MINUTES negative_dopmins
Now, this is the third time that this code fragment has been suggested to
you as the only practical way to achieve what you want to do. Once by
myself, once by Digital man, and now once again. If this isn't good
enough for you, that's your business. You are free to reject it. But
please -- spare us the "poor me didn't get a reply so now I'll come with
some attitude" responses, OK?

No, I think it *is* only you.
