That should be easy - simply

lnTop=0
scan
   lcName="btn"+transform(recno())
   this.addobject(lcName, "commandbutton")
   loButton=this.getpem(lcName)
   with loButton
      .top=lntop
      .caption="Button # "+transform(recno())   && or something else
      lnTop=lnTop+.height+2
      .visible=.t.
   endwith
endscan

Of course you may want to set more properties, and of course you will run out of vertical space. You may want to introduce multiple columns of buttons, if you like.
