    If that doesn't work, you can read here (https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/73935/#Creating) and create a test variable of integer type for this use.

In your For Loop statement in second screenshot, you have mentioned 'Variables.AllCribs' as your first parameter. According to this article (https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/72666/), the first parameter stands for the loop variable. This can only be an Interger or Double type, hence the error that you are getting.

 

Example:

for(i=0;i<=10;i++){

print i;

}

 

In the above example the variable i is the loop variable. Now you see why you cannot have an array in the place of i. You can create another counter variable or even leave it blank. It'll get automatically created and deleted.

Thanks for the reply. What is the Keyword equivilant? I'm trying move away from script where possible for stated reasons. The only option for the first parameter 'Loop Variable' is a 'Variable'.
