You're out of luck if those commands really don't work.

Unless there's something you're doing wrong, just food for thought.

@Smart Games, use parseNumber command to parse string values got from UI.

It didn't work for me, i found an other solution for my problem 🙂

Your problem is that in your conditions you are trying to compare text to a number ...

// Returns text
_am1 = ctrlText _ctrl1;
_am2 = ctrlText _ctrl2;
_am3 = ctrlText _ctrl3;

// Error - checking if text is less than a number
if (_am1 < 200) then {_ctrl1 ctrlSetText "200"; player setVariable ["overall_distance",200]};

The very simple fix for this is to parseNumber for those three variables

// Returns text
_am1 = parseNumber(ctrlText _ctrl1);
_am2 = parseNumber(ctrlText _ctrl2);
_am3 = parseNumber(ctrlText _ctrl3);

// No-error - Checking if a number is less than a number
if (_am1 < 200) then {_ctrl1 ctrlSetText "200"; player setVariable ["overall_distance",200]};
