Mike,

QDBRTVFD is a very complicated API, so I may have just missed it in the
documentation -- but, this API doesn't appear to return the number of
records in the file!

The QUSRMBRD API can be used to retrieve the number of records in a
member.  (just like the RTVMBRD CL command) which may be what you're
looking for -- depending on if you truly want the number of records in the
whole file, or if you really just wanted to know how many records are in a
member.

If you use the QUSLMBR API to get a list of members, you could call
QUSRMBRD in a loop and total them up to get the total number of records
in a file....

I've used all of these APIs for various reasons before, just let me know
what exactly you're after...
