  • For TeLiTab$, the function returns the number of cases in the TeLiTab set

Remarks

Examples

When you have a solution created by providing a range of  11(1)17

ORCA(0)

Returns
7

When you are in an object and you want to give a name to each case in this object by means of a parameter you could create a relation to be calculated in the object of:

Name$ = "Case_"+ORCA(1)
