Re: IFS file record count

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

subject: Re: IFS file record count

Im creating an IFS File and I have to send the record count in my email to my customer. I wont be able to use RTVMBRD to get the record count since it is IFS File. Otherwise do I have to change that IFS file into PF(CPYFRMSTMF) and then record count by using RTVMBRD?

 Donna.
