Hi Terence,
Should be possible using CALCULATED_VALUE.
Program rule variable having source type as CALCULATED_VALUE will get its
value assigned by some other program rule. Try these steps
1. create program rule variable of source type CALCULATED_VALUE // Let say
"auto-increment"
2. create program rule with Program Rule Action as Assign Value and select
variable created in step 1 and assign it "#{auto-increment} + 1"
3. Use it in your program rule where ever needed for example
v{current-date}-#{orgunit}-#{auto-increment}

In order to use CALCULATED_CALUE make sure you are correctly setting rule
*priority*.
