Must know how this is being output. This will determine on how and where to start the counter. If it is done from a ude then you could set the counter to 1 in the proc called by the ude. Then probably in before output do the checking of the counter and increment it until the time it comes through as 50 then do an output and reset the counter back to 0 or 1. Then unset the counter at the end of operation if you don't want to continue the output unless the ude is used again. This would get an output every 50 lines from the first output. I have not tested this but it sounds reasonable.
 
It sounds nice,

Thanks.
