Re: IFS file record count

["Shalom Carmel" <shalom@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Donna,
Create a data area in your library list , lets call it RCDCOUNT
CRTDTAARA DTAARA(RCDCOUNT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(100)

now run this to place the record count into the data area:
qsh cmd('wc -l file.txt | datarea -w rcdcount')

your CL program can retrieve the record count and use it.

Regards,
Shalom Carmel
