Setting a Counter

Setting a counter is a simple two-part process accomplished in the rules:

  1. Initialize a variable

    In the START: section of the rules, name a variable to be used as the counter and set it to 0 as follows:

    %%Total_Subscribers = 0

  2. Increment the variable

    In the DOCUMENT: or PAGE: section of the rules, set the counter as follows:

    %%Total_Subscribers = %%Total_Subscribers + 1

The following figure shows a counter that is set whenever the subscriber name changes. 
START:
   %%Total_Subscribers = 0
DOCUMENT:
   IF CHANGED(%%Subscriber_Name) THEN
      %%Total_Subscribers = %%Total_Subscribers + 1
   ENDIF
