Hi, I want to read a variable from a csv file (employeenumber) and use it as input for a parameter, add a nummer to the paramater and then write is back to the csv file. Is this possible ?

Hi!

Can you explain what it is you want to achieve other than changing the employee number?

Are you updating an external system with this information?

Nope I want a csv file with the employee numbers, read the last number, add 1 to it and fill AD "employeID", and write the new number to the CSV file.

Hi,

In RES Automation Manager 2011 Service Release 1 (version 6.0.1.0) there is the possibility topass paramaeters back to the runbook. So you can feed the parameter from a csv file and pass it on to a module. in that module you can use the @[CALC(<PARAMETER>,+,1)] function to increase the value of that parameter value and pass the new value back to the Run Book. In order to do this you need to configure the link between the Run Book Parameter and the Module Parameter to work in both directions (new functionality in SR1). Now you can configure a next task that outputs the new Paramaeter value to a (csv) file for future use.
