SQL & PL/SQL :: Create Counter For The Number Of Inserts Run In A Block

I have a plsql Proc, which accepts a few parameters and inevitably loops through a cursor and runs a bunch of insert statements. With quite a few IF conditions.

Each insert statement has a value which i want to increment by (+1) every time an insert statement is executed in the same loop.. This is for a student housing database and this is for their room preferences so 1 is the first, 2 is there second preference e.t.c.

Please take a look at the code below: in the Insert values() I have put a? Where I want the number to increment from.

There are a lot more inserts which I haven't put below. I hope I have made myself clear as this has been quite difficult to explain. So for example if the 2nd two inserts are run, then I was the first one to insert with a 1 and the second with a 2.

BEGIN
FOR rec IN c1
LOOP
IF c1%FOUND THEN
INSERT INTO table (PK_A, fk_rms_id, application_type, application_person_type) VALUES (NULL, rec.pk_rms_id, app_type, app_person_type) RETURNING PK_APPLICATION_NO INTO x;
