If he was using SELECT statement which thus using READNEXT, this puts you in a save-list mode, does @SYSTEM.RETURN.CODE work for Universe? I use it a lot in Unidata processes.

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?
