before or after you open the cursor, you can get a record count this
way:

        select  count(*)
          into  :reccntvar
          from  file
         where  fld1 = :variable1
           and  fld2 = :variable2

If the file (and associated overrides) are the same, it will give you
what you want.  This "select/count" runs independently of the
declare/select/open.
