Do you have SYSTEM(11) like we do in UniData?  It may do something else 
entirely or be slightly different.

Subject: [U2] How many will be selected?

UV here

I open a file, then use SELECT filevarible then proceed to do a 
LOOP/READNEXT/REPEAT to
scan through the file.

OPEN "","SOMEFILE" TO F.TEST ELSE STOP
SELECT F.TEST
LOOP
   READNEXT ID ELSE EXIT
REPEAT

Is there any way to know how many records WILL BE processed in that loop before 
scanning?

@selected doesn't work, it only returns the number of items in the last group 
that was read

I tried using SELECT filevariable TO list.variable  .... but you can't do a 
DCOUNT on that variable
   you can only READNEXT FROM list.variable

Aside from EXECUTE "SELECT filename" RTNLIST  in place of the SELECT 
filevariable so that
@selected would return with the actual number selected (which does do what I 
want)

Any other methods?
