Hello Henri.

Assuming this is about SIOC:

When an event occurs to cause a section of script to be executed, a set of local variables is created for use during that iteration of the script. The local variables are lost when the section of script ends; i.e values assigned to them do not survive from one iteration to the next.

For your purposes use an ordinary variable; e.g.

Var 0010, NAME Button, LINK IOCARD_SW, TYPE P
{
   &Counter = &Counter + 1
   .
   .  etc.
   .
}

Var 0020, NAME Counter, VALUE 0
