RE: [Talk] Record counter using the Datastation

[Rich McNeil]

The record count isn't something reported by the DataStation. (My sort-of-lame excuse for this is that for most of the file types you can't determine the number of records except by separately counting each one.  To do this try:       D.Open "filename", filetype      Do         Records = D.Record         D.Next_     Loop Until D.EOF_     D.Record = 1 Rich McNeil Boston Software Systems 866 653 5105 www.bostonworkstation.com     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dwight Clevenger Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 2:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Talk] Record counter using the Datastation I would like to be able to get the count of records in the data file I am using via the DataStation.
