COUNT

Reports the total number of items found in a file based on the selection criteria specified.

Syntax

COUNT file-specifier {item-list} {USING file-specifier} {selection-criteria} {(options}

Refer to Sentence Structure for descriptions of these parameters.

Special Options

C{n} Display running counters of the number of items selected and items processed. The counter display is refreshed after every n items processed (default 500) or after the total number of items if less than 500. For example, (C25) refreshes the display after every 25 items processed.

G{n} Completes once n items have been selected (default 500), or the end of the file is reached, whichever occurs first.

Note: You cannot use C and G options at the same time. If you specify both, the G option takes precedence.
