@CODES@ as embedded in menus and other text screens aren't variables in
the programatic sense. They are substitution codes that are textually
replaced in ASCII/ANSI files when those files are sent to the caller.
You can't do arithmetic with them.
If you are coding in BAJA and want to do arithmetic with a system variable
you use the ADD, SUB, MUL and DIV operations. I'd recommend copying the
value to a user variable first and working with that, though.
