Thanks for your reply. However, even after making it a var, I get complaint:
*Cannot access a non-static field field Test.currentWorkCounter:
x10.lang.Int from a static context
*
And to avoid it, I will have to make other two functions as non-static, but
then the whole program does not run properly and it complains:
*x10c++: No main method found
1 error.
*
Please help me, since I am not from Java background hence I am getting such
errors. Thanks.
Thanks and Regards
