Topic: create a column of incrementing numbers (1 of 3), Read 35 times Conf: VEDIT Macro Language Support From: Tim Landry Date: Tuesday, December 03, 2002 04:05 PM I need help with what probably has a simple solution. I want to create a column of numbers that have a defined starting point and ending point. I am using get_input(9,"ENTER BEGINNING RECORD NUMBER ",STATLINE + NOCR) get_input(10,"ENTER ENDING RECORD NUMBER ",STATLINE + NOCR) to get the number range, but I can't figure out the loop. Any suggestions?

The supplied key-mac.lib file has a "Renumber" macro which adds line numbers. That should help you understand how to create the loop. Ted.
