Subtract two dimensions and report

I am new to variables and scripting. What would be a simple way to subtract two distance diemnsions and have it show up on the report as a dimension? Thanks J

Variable`

Try this:[/ASSIGN/V25 = DISTAVG21.MEAS
ASSIGN/V26 = DISTAVG22.MEAS
ASSIGN/V27 = (V25-V26)
TOTAL =GENERIC/POINT,DEPENDENT,RECT,$
NOM/XYZ,0,0,0,$
MEAS/XYZ,0,0,V27,$
NOM/IJK,0,0,1,$
MEAS/IJK,0,0,1
DIM LOCAVG13= LOCATION OF POINT TOTAL UNITS=MM ,$
GRAPH=OFF TEXT=OFF MULT=10.00 OUTPUT=BOTH
AX MEAS NOMINAL +TOL -TOL DEV OUTTOL
Z 0.017 0.000 0.100 -0.010 0.017 0.000 --#------
END OF DIMENSION LOCAVG13]

assign/v25 = Distavg21.meas
            Assign/v26 = Distavg22.meas
            Assign/v27 = (v25-v26)
Total      =generic/point,dependent,rect,$
            Nom/xyz,0,0,0,$
            Meas/xyz,0,0,v27,$
            Nom/ijk,0,0,1,$
            Meas/ijk,0,0,1
Dim Locavg13= Location Of Point Total  Units=mm ,$
Graph=off  Text=off  Mult=10.00  Output=both
Ax       Meas    Nominal       +tol       -tol        Dev     Outtol
Z       0.017      0.000      0.100     -0.010      0.017      0.000 --#------
End Of Dimension Locavg13

The result in the variable 'MYRESULT':

ASSIGN/MYRESULT = DISTAVG21.MEAS-DISTAVG22.MEAS

Direct:

Total      =generic/point,dependent,rect,$
            Nom/xyz,0,0,0,$
            Meas/xyz,0,0,DISTAVG21.MEAS-DISTAVG22.MEAS,$
            Nom/ijk,0,0,1,$
            Meas/ijk,0,0,1

You can also create a "dimensional keyin", where you write the theo. value in nominal, and the variable in "meas".
It looks like a classical dimension, you can give the name that you want to the dim.
