Moving a String to a New Tag

All, I am trying to reset timers when a Work Order change occurs. The Work Order comes in as a string and I am comparing it to a tag, "Work_Order_Last".

When they are NEQ, the Work_Order_Change OTE goes HIGH, resetting the timers. I am attempting to move the new Work Order string into the Work_Order_Last string.

Currently, I am using a CONCAT instruction where Source B is an "Empty" string tag to move the value to the string.

My question is, is there any way to move the Work Order value to the Work_Order_Last tag without using a CONCAT?

I see the MOV instruction does not let you use strings.

Thank you!
