Hi @Pratibha, if I understand your problem correctly you need to arrange some serial numbers in a list in ascending order and use do while for it. You can follow these steps to achieve the same:

1. Initialize a variable of type int and assign the value as 0001 (assume SerialNumber) for the first time and another variable of type int and value as 1 (assume Count)

2. Get the selector of the first box and check it with the selector of the second. You will get what needs to be dynamic in the selector.

3. Loop through the number of values you have on the screen and write the serialNumber variable in the box. Make sure the selector is dynamic with the variable count in it.

4. Then increment the values of both SerialNumber and Count by 1 so that the value will be written in the next line and the serial number is 0002.
