@balkishan

Use While loop instead of ForEach loop.

[lakshman (Ganta lakshman)]

@balkishan

     While count < totalEID

Where count is interger variable and initialise with 1

For Each activity is used to iterate through each item of a collection/list. In this case, you can use while statement to perform iteration using the int variable.

@balkishan

Yes you should.

@balkishan
Your totalEID is a single int value. For Looping you need a set (e.g., array, list, an enumerable) of values.
With following trick you can create from your totalEID a Set of e.g 20 items:
instead of totalEID just use: Enumerable.Range(0, totalEID ) assumed totalEID = 20

In addition to that, if you still want to loop ‘n’ number of times using for loop-

For i in Enumerable.Range(0,n).ToArray()

Reference -

Loop something x number of times

You can create and increment a counter, like @arivu96 suggested. Another option is to use a For each activity with Enumerable.Range(0,500).ToArray(): [ForEachInRange]
