I try to create a script, which generates a correlative number (ID)
the start number can vary,
will not start from 1 or 0
it can be any number start  and the number of rows can also change
done this example but it didn't work
rec=0
def autoIncrement():
    global rec
    pStart = 11 #adjust start value, if req'd
    pInterval = 5 #adjust interval value, if req'd
    if (rec == 0):
        rec = pStart
    else:
        rec = rec + pInterval
    return rec
expression
autoIncrement(ID)
expected result------------
ID
11
12
13
14
15

Just use the field calculator rather than running the script... or copy and edit it exactly

replace accented characters with the field calculator  not closed, you should close old threads if they were answered

/blogs/dan_patterson/2016/08/14/script-formatting  for code formatting so that line numbers can be referenced

What result did you get?  You only posted what you got.

You're passing 'ID' into 'def autoIncrement():' - which has no input parameters.

expression
autoIncrement()
