Line Counting in QUIZ

[Joe Boyle]

As you want to number blank lines also ( and assuming your aren't on MPE
whose editor allows you to add line numbers to a text file ) my guess is
that you will have to do something like the following :-

1. write the report output to a diskfile (without the numbers )
2. create a portable subfile with a dummy element say 132 chars in length
3. overwrite the data part of the portable subfile with the report diskfile 
4. then use syntax below

		can cle
		set page wid 200
		acc * portable_subfile

		sorted on etc...
		
		rep count ps_dummy_element_132
		go

You could write to disk file, You may have to prefix a skip with " " (eg " 
" skip " " skip " " skip) to make sure you get at least a single character 
per line.

If this is just a once off, then use an editor or o/s script to add a line 
number.

If something more permanent is required then define a file that will read 
the disk file you just wrote then you can add the line number.
