Question on counting control #'s

[Nancy Tietz]

Try this:

Quiz
>access  A-DATASET
>define starter int size 4 = parm prompt "Enter starter number:"
>define counter int size 4 = 1
>
>set subfile name xxx keep
> report summary  number  starter  counter SUBTOTAL
> go
> access *xxx
> define control# int size 4 = starter + counter - 1   ;minus 1 so it starts 
with starter!
> rep number control#
>go
Enter starter number: 12
1    12
2    13
3    14
4    15
5    16

If you need it sorted, you may need to add:
>Sort on sort-key1 on sort-key2
> set subfile name xxx keep at sort-key1
> rep sum  number starter counter SUBTOTAL  RESET AT SORT-KEY1

I hope that helps!
