If you check out the KnowledgeBase programming about repeating a number
of business cards, you can get an idea on how to to ExternalDataFileEx
programming. This will allow you to keep a running log of what was
printed/ordered to date. I'm not sure about the actual programming codes
for this by I can give you an idea of what to try.
1. Create a text file that you'll use as a running log file, and set it
initially to 0.
2. Create an OnJobStart rule that reads this, skips down to the last
record entry and reads the latest amount. This is where the KB example
will help you.
3. You can then pass this number via a global variable setting from
OnJobStart and set you current job counter to that number + 1.
4. You'll need to keep track of the amount that you run for your current
job.
5. Then in an OnJobEnd rule add the two numbers (from step 2 and step 4)
together to get a new starting value that you write back to your log file.
I know it may be a little confusing, but I hope this helps.
