Thomas Lepkowski OL Newbie Registered: 04/26/18 Posts: 5	Hi, I have a script that loops to print duplicate pages: define(&i, integer, 0) % Print the pages. for(&i, 1, 1, 20) $Page1a showpage() endfor() How can I print the %i standard variable on that page in question as it loops? So I can see the copy count. Thanks, Thomas

This way, when you'll call it, it will have the value just before calling the page. Be careful how you handle global variables as they can be access/modified anywhere. _________________________ ♪♫♪♫ 99 frigging bugs in my code 99 frigging bugs Take one down Code around 127 frigging bugs in my code ♪♫♪♫

Thomas Lepkowski OL Newbie Registered: 04/26/18 Posts: 5	Thank you, This works, is this correct? define(&loop1, integer, 1) % Print the pages. for(&loop1, 1, 1, &copies1) execpage('Page1a') showpage() &printloop1 := &printloop1 + 1 endfor() &printloop1 := 1 I also setup a &copies1 global variable so I could test only 1 page for positioning. Thanks again!
