Incrementing a parameter by 1

Rob

Guys,

do you know a reliable way to increment a parameter by 1 in the parameter script? The problem is that the parameter script is run several times in order to recalculate all parameters... and that stuffs it up.

an example:
I want to increment (by one) the value of a parameter "A" each time you click the button on the custom UI tab.

Any thoughts?

This should do it.

	n = APPLICATION_QUERY ("PARAMETER_SCRIPT", "FIRSTOCCASION_IN_PROGRESS", isFirstRun)
	IF isFirstRun THEN
		A=A+1
	ELSE
		A=A
	ENDIF

Thank you Michael
A good friend of mine have once told me that I´m so brute that I´m capable of creating a GDL script capable of creating GDLs.
