Assigning a variable from a variable assignment

Hello I would like to do something like the following but I cannot get it to work and coffee has still to hit my this Friday morning:

Assign - Counter=1
Assign - V1=1
Assign - VCALL="V"+Counter

Now, I would like for VCALL to take the value of 1 instead of the string "V1". Keep in mind that this is a super simplified example but should give the idea of what I am after. I tried these pointer brackets {} but they don't seem to work. Creating a function does not seem to work either. I am getting a string with the name of the variable instead of the value in the variable :S

Any help here guys please?

Are you trying to do this, where I have a feature taking X and Y coordinates out of variables, which I change (at the end) during loops so that the feature has different values each run?
(please ignore that this is pretty bad in the actual machine measurement part, I deleted 90 percent of the program to get the variable stuff with one measure and an output, this isn't the complete program)

Place 25pc fixture on CMM.

The plate bolts into F8 and P8.

If you use risers to get above the lang, use support
risers as possible (they will NOT be able to be screwed
into, this plate does not match the 6 hole mounting
pattern on the fixture).

Load the parts on the fixture, starting in the near left
position and filling columns back.

When a column is full, start the next column.

The program will stop by trying to check a part that isn't
present. If you do not load properly and the fixture isn't
full, it will stop early.
