Not so fast.
It all depends how the logical expression
if #0==''
is evaluated. On the first record it is unassigned, which compares
equal with a null string; on the sixth round, it is zero which converts
to "0"; perhaps not what was desired.
A better test for the first record is
if first()
And yes it sure would have been better if the default for the terminal
line editing characters had been OFF for a screen. Tch, tch, Newson.

Just tried again from the a command line. The '#' (w/o quotes) might be
causing the problem. CP is interpreting it as an end of line and I'm guessing
the 0 (zero) doesn't get prefixed with the '#'

Works for me. Maybe you have an older version of CMS Pipelines.
I put it into a Rexx EXEC and surrounded it with double quotes, since you are
using single quotes.

Subject: [CMS-PIPELINES] FPLSPX1086E Improper operand for string comparison
Decided to give Mike's pipe a try, but it gives me an error:
pipe literal *|dup 8|spec if #0=='' then set #0:=-5 else set #0+=1 endif print
#0 n|Cons
"
FPLSPX1086E Improper operand for string comparison
FPLMSG003I ... Issued from stage 3 of pipeline 1
FPLMSG001I ... Running "spec if #0=='' then set #0:=-5 else set #0+=1 endi"
FPLSPE192I ... Scan at position 9; previous data "if #0==''"
Ready (01086); T=0.01/0.01 12:06:48
"
Any ideas?

#0 will never become positive. Is that what you wanted?
