For a randomize function in a program I need to save a variable in a file and increment the variable each time the program runs. How do I do it? (in dbpro)

To read a variable use:


To write a variable use:


Maybe after each read, you should delete the file, and rewrite the variable so you dont get dual entries.

I found out about the timer command just after working out that way. It's really annoying when something like that happens.
