tabplace

[Katjes]

Is there a way to loop over a particular number of rows in tabplace, instead of providing the numbers manually. Instead of

Code: Select all

tabplace (tab_new, tab_old, "A14","A14","N14") tabplace (tab_new, tab_old, "A15","A16","N16")

Something like

Code: Select all

!j=14 for !i=14 to 100 step+2 %dest="A"+@str(!j) %source_a="A"+@str(!i) %source_b="N"+@str(!i) tabplace (tab_new, tab_old, %dest,%source_a,%source_b) !j=!j+1 next

Yes - doing it the way you suggest will work.

This was my test version - but if I would add a particular row number (not step 2) saved in an additional table (tab_row) the procedure did not work.

Code: Select all

!j=14 for !i=1 to 5 scalar row =@val(tab_row(!i)) !row =row for !i=14 to 100 step+2 %dest="A"+@str(!j) %source_a="A"+@str(!row) %source_b="N"+@str(!row) tabplace (tab_new, tab_old, %dest,%source_a,%source_b) !j=!j+1 next

Do you have any suggestions?

Hard to see what you're doing from that.
