Good day,

I found this hint, maybe it helps you a bit?

To achieve counting in steps of 5 using text masks in COMOS, you will need to use a script, as the standard text mask functionality does not support custom step increments directly.

Here is a VBScript example that you can use to create an object with a name that increments by 5:

' Initialize the starting value

currentValue = 5

' Function to generate the next name in the sequence

Function GetNextName()

' Format the current value with leading zeros

nextName = "S" & Right("000" & currentValue, 3)

' Increment the value by 5 for the next call

currentValue = currentValue + 5

' Return the generated name

GetNextName = nextName

End Function

' Example usage

For i = 1 To 10

MsgBox GetNextName()

Next

This script initializes the starting value at 5 and defines a function

GetNextName

that generates the next name in the sequence by formatting the current value with leading zeros and incrementing it by 5. The example usage shows how to call this function in a loop to generate the first 10 names in the sequence.

You can integrate this script into your COMOS environment to automate the naming process for your objects.

All the best,
