Special Numbering.

[Fletch]

I have a sequential numbering rule that's counting from 1 to 300,000. I also need to create a rule that will print the number '1' during the first 10,000, number '2' during the second 10,000...and so on. Is there an easier way to accomplish this than creating a Drag n Drop rule with 30 'IF Greater than and Less than' components? Just wondering.

return Int((FusionPro.Composition.outputRecordNumber - 1) / 10000) + 1;

I copied and pasted that into an empty rule. no matter which record I go to, the number is always a '1'.

Well, this is weird. The Rule looks to work when the rule is opened. The Building Blocks and Validate show that it works. However, when I place that rule in a text box it gives me '1' on every record.

Depending on how the job is set up to do the numbers, you might need to put something else in there instead of FusionPro.Composition.outputRecordNumber; maybe FusionPro.Composition.processedRecordNumber or FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber.

 

I would make the rule simply return FusionPro.Composition.outputRecordNumber and see what you get from that.

The third one worked. (FusionPro.Composition.inputRecordNumber) Thanks a million.
