The table given here only applies for the assignments for the NSDD operand. I believe this is not crystal clear from the desciption, so I have gone ahead and initiated a help file modification to make it unequivocal. Apologies for the inconveniences!
I hope this clears things up a bit. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

Thank you very much for the clarification. I often find very difficult to find what I really need in the Help, especially when talking about ZPL. Some functions are called like the operands and are described elsewhere.
I would suggest to switch from chm files to html with improved readability. Also much more keywords and hyperlinks between different parts of the Help would improve the experience. But this is matter for a different topic.
For ZPL, this is what I can recommend to search the Help File.
There are three sections of interest:
KEYWORDS (The Programming Tab > About the ZPL > KEYWORDS (about the zpl) or just search KEYWORDS)
Numeric Functions (The Programming Tab > About the ZPL > Numeric Functions or just search Numeric)
String Functions (The Programming Tab > About the ZPL > String Functions or just search String Function)
These are the places where you'll find most of the information.
If you need something which returns a number, for example, the Thickness of a particular surface. It'll most likely be in the Numeric Functions. Those functions return numeric values, as the name suggest.
If you need something which returns a string, for example, the comment in a particular surface. You'll find it in the String Functions.
Finally, KEYWORDS typically don't return anything. They are here to modify the system/lens only.
