Does splunk have a primitive to generate test records?

I'm trying to generate some trivial data records (in this example, records with TheRecordNumber from 1 to 400).

Is there a simpler way to do it than this?

| makeresults count=400
| eval TheNum = 1 
| accum TheNum as TheRecordNumber 

I'm aware of makeresults and gentimes.

The only thing simpler I can think of is this

| makeresults count=400
| streamstats count as TheRecordNumber

Don't think there is any other simpler option.
