Creating a "less than" condition in the condition editor

Hi there,

I'm designing a BPM with a loop which needs to run while a counter is less than a determined value.

I've defined the counter as a simple type container and I've used a container operator to increment this counter. But in the condition editor for the loop, I've not found a simple way to create this "less than" condition, other than creating a huge OR statement with all the possible values that the counter can assume (1, 2, ..., max_value), which I would really rather not to use.

I've read about using a XPath expression to create this less than condition, but I need to use it in a simple variable, not a message.

I've also searched through SDN about this, but I didn't manage to find anything on the topic (except for the XPath thing).

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!
