This is possible on D3 because the number of items in a file kept in the FCB. To my knowledge no such count is kept anywhere for a Universe file.
Note that D3 also has the "estimate-count" verb (typically renamed "ecount" by me for easier use), which returns the number of items in a file instantly. FYI, I ran down the user exit in that verb and created my own subroutine "ecount.sub(filename,count) so that I can get the number of items in a file from inside a basic program and thus allow a basic "select filevar... readnext id" loop to display progress. I agree with your users, It is a great D3 feature. /Scott Ballinger Pareto Corporation Edmonds WA USA 206 713 6006 On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 1:33 PM, JeffG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > D3 allows you to use a (T option at the end of a SELECT statement.
