Changing the Value of a Counter

Procedure

You can increase or decrease the value of a SAPSCRIPT-COUNTER_x (x=0.. 9) counter variable by 1, before the current counter value is printed.

`&SAPSCRIPT-COUNTER_x(+)&`	`Increases the counter variable x (x=0.. 9) by 1`
`&SAPSCRIPT-COUNTER_x(-)&`	`Reduces the counter variable x (x=0.. 9) by 1`

If you want to change the value of a counter variable without actually printing the new value, use the additional option of setting the output length to 0. If you want to set a counter variable to a specific value, use the DEFINE control command to assign this value.
