How to use Loop Index in an expression?

[Rafi2003]

HI,

I would like to use the loop index in an expression (for pre-condition as an example).

Reading        RunState.LoopIndex                           gives 0

Reading        RunStat.Root.RunState.LoopIndex    gives 0

I expected to see there the actual loop number (which was 1,2....).

Also, is there a way to obtain the number of fixed loop set for a specific test?

Thanks

Rafi

Rafi -

Take a look at table 3-4 Order of Actions that a Step Performs in the Reference manual.  The precondition is evaluated once and is evaluated before any loops are executed.  I am not aware of any way to precondition any of the individual loops that are executed.

Rafi,

As Scott pointed out, you could not use the Loop Index in a precondition.  If you need that much control over your loops, I would suggest using loop step type, either a For Loop or While Loop.  This would provide you complete control over the Loop index and size for the loop.

If you have any questions, feel free to reply.

Thanks,
