G'day I looked at that initially but got put off by it being a pre-processor and strictly not meeting the requirement of being ordered rather than hierarchical.
But if I understand you correctly: - attach the UDP to a sampler so that it inherits its scope from that - use the test action as the sampler because it is the cheapest of samplers to execute - set the test action to be a zero length pause - set up the UDP with a single column so each time around we know which value we are getting - ensure that the value is per-thread - the value can be a function I think that might work. Much depends on the performance but I can easily check that. Ian Blavins Software performance specialist . TEMENOS The Banking Software Company .
