VB script macro Loop?

General discussion

Sign in to vote
I wish to create at macro loop in VBscript.

The loop must repeat until a designated number is reached and skip

every other number or (step 2) Example: 11 to 273 or 10 to 272

In the ten digit line of code, only the three digit part of the number must change each time; 61106(011-273)AA

There is more to the macro before and after but, all would be repeated each time the above is the only number I need to be variable.

Any help in creating a working for next/loop in VBscript would be appreciated.

I have already researched tried and failed to get this to work.

If necessary I will include the full code so you can pin point what I'm doing wrong.

Although i'm fairly sure it's a matter of proper placement or punctuation.?

Questions relating to V Script should be asked here: VBScript

Be sure to post the code that you have already tried so that someone can point out the problem with the punctuation.

Also post code in a Code Block, when you post in the correct Forum, which makes the code legible and more easily understood.

You should not be learning VBScrript as it is obsolete. If you want to learn how to script start learning PowerShell.

Please carefully review the following links to set your expectation for posting in technical forums.

I am aware but, unfortunately that is what my employer is still working with.

So it is beneficial to me.

What is "PCOMM"? Why is it not supported? I really only need help with the one line of code that keeps giving me issues and how to properly write it to avoid error and achieve the result I'm looking for .

For XXX = 011 To 273 Step Two "61106XXXAA" Next

You are the one posting PCOMM scripts. Look at your post.

PCOMM is not a Microsoft product. It is an IBM product for writing PCOMM macros. It is not VBScript.

Also your question is ambiguous and does not match the script you posted. Post in an IBM forum for PCOMM.

I don't know what "PCOMM" is. It's at the top of your sample code.

Here's the documentation page about the For ... Next statement in VBScript.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/scripting-articles/sa3hh43e(v%3dvs.84)

If you don't understand the documentation, then unfortunately we won't be able to help. This is not a forum that teaches VBScript programming.
