The way I have it set, no, because there comes a point where adding one
to anything can possibly cause an overflow. But you can go into the
source and fix it. If I put a 'Z' in the numeric area for that line, it
changes to Eval X = X + 1.  I only do this if I'm dead sure I'll never
overflow the value.

You can set it to globally convert to EVAL expressions for any
combination of ADD, SUB, MULT, DIV, Z-ADD, or Z-SUB. You can choose not
to convert them at all, or convert them only if the result will never
overflow, or convert them regardless.

Does it make an exception for code like this?

C           ADD    1           X
