I am running UV 10.x on a AIX box. I open the file using an OPENSEQ command and I am looping through the record using a READSEQ command. Either immediately after the OPENSEQ or after the first READSEQ, I would like to know if there is more then 1 line in the file. I know that prior to doing the OPENSEQ, I could open the file, read the record and then DCOUNT(RECORD,@FM) to get the number of fields, close the file and then do a sequential open and read. I am hoping that there is a system variable or something that I can use after the OPENSEQ. Looping through the record is not a viable option.
