exec sql GET DIAGNOSTICS :Rows = ROW_COUNT;

I have a SQL
SqlSelect = 'SELECT C6DcCd, ' +
'C6CvNb, '+
'C6AcDt, ' +
'C6FnSt,' +
'C6B9Cd ' +
'From ' + %Trim(PurgeXALib) + '/MBC6REP ' +
'Where C6ACDT <= ' + %EditC(PurgeDateCYMD : 'X');

Instead of reading through the cursor, I want the number of records found.

How do I do that?
