[Solved] How to increment and add variable length numbers to a variable in a loop?
Hi All,


I have a file which has hundred of records with fixed number of fields. In each record there is set of 8 characters which represent the duration of that activity. I want to sum up the duration present in all the records for a report. The problem is the duration changes per record so I do not know how to add it up.
Please help me since doing this task manually is really very frustrating.
