Embedded SQL record count -- MIDRANGE-L

I have embedded an SQL statement in an RPG program to retrieve records into
a cursor.  The select statement is using a "where" clause to only select
certain records.

I'd like to get a total record count of what was selected before I start
processing the records.  I want to use the total record count to send the
user a message of the status of the submitted job (ie, % complete using how
many processed in relation to the total selected).

Is there a way to get this total record count after opening the cursor?

Thanks for any help and suggestions.
