Sequential Numbering with gaps

Hi,

 

 

I'm wondering if there is a way to use the a Callback rule to generate a sequence of numbers that has gaps in it.

 

 

Example:

 

 

1-40

50-90

100-140

150-190

200-240

250-290, etc.

 

 

I have a customer who wants numbering that does not contain 41-49 or 91-99 in the number sequence. It seems like you should be able to do this using Callback rule with javascript. Using trim on the last 9 of every group of 50? This probably be 3,000 to 5,000 numbers.

 

 

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Something like this:

var nums = [];
var num = 0;
for (var i = 1; i <= 5000; i++)
{
   num++;
   if (num % 50 > 40)
       num += 9;

   nums.push(num);
}

return nums[FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber];

This doesn't need a Callback rule; a regular old Text rule will work just fine. Though an optimization would be to put all but the last line of the code above into the JavaScript Globals.
