Hi,
I'm new to Eztrieve, can anyone please help me find record count of a mainframe dataset? If possible, please write me an eztrieve code that would help me find record counts.
Thanks,
Akshadha

Easier to do with SORT, and certainly much more portable. Just a thought.

use
WS-MASTER-CNT = RECORD-COUNT(MASTERFL)
where MASTERFL is file DD name and WS-MASTER-CNT is working storage variable.

And what is RECORD-COUNT? Is it reserved word in Easytrieve?

Thanks, i could locate my easytrieve-documentation and that says,
RECORD-COUNT
RECORD-COUNT is a read-only four-byte binary field with zero decimal places that contains the number of logical I/O operations performed on a file.
...
Thanks...
. Hopefully it serves the purpose for the original request.
