Incrementing a counter.

[Joe Boyle]

most systems loose the variable after the process is returned from, so how
about add a request to get the next number as below, and then access a
subfile ( which will default to the users local area )

req gtnxt
acc getnxt 
choose reckey n
define dkey int = nxtkey of gtnxt
output gtnxt update
item nxtkey = nxtkey + k
subfile newkey keep include dkey


but you can do all of that in quick anyway, and without a subfile, so why
call a qtp ?

Regards, Joe.

Subject: QTP: Incrementing a counter.

Greetings to the -L,

Using QTP I need to increment a counter in a dataset (MPE/Image) and
return a copy of the incremented value in a system variable via
SETSYSTEMVAL.

Suggestions/examples on how to do it would be welcome.
 

regards,
