RE: Add to Character Value

["Don Wereschuk" <dwereschuk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR IS THE EXPRESSION 'A' + 1 = 'B' . I WANT TO
INCREASE THE CHARTERS IN ORDER FROM 'A' TO 'Z' BY ADDING 1 TO THE
CHARACTER.

Can you create an array of all valid values ranked in the order you 
choose.  Then do a lookup on a character, add 1 to the array, and choose

that new element as your new value.

It isn't clear to me what you would want "Q + 1" to equal, or "q + 1". 
An array that you construct would resolve that ambiguity.
