Subject:Help: "Increment" as verb From:Connie Winch <CEW -at- MACOLA -dot- USA -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 20 Dec 1995 10:59:00 LCL
I'm editing one of our manuals and have come across "increment" used as a
verb. According to my American Heritage Dictionary, it's not a verb.
However, I'm having a hard time thinking of a replacement. Any
suggestions? It would be used in a sentence like this: "The software
package automatically increments the transaction ID number after each
entry."
