Another option or 2 can use a table expression, either correlated or nested. I'm not testing these - see if they work - I like these, because I feel more in control of things than if I use "fetch first row only". That's just me!

Correlated table expression -

with xx as (SELECT count(*) as yearcount FROM macfile WHERE ordyr between 2003 and 2013 GROUP BY ordyr)
select min(yearcount) into :count from xx

Nested table expression -

select min(yearcount) into :count from (SELECT count(*) as yearcount FROM macfile WHERE ordyr between 2003 and 2013 GROUP BY ordyr)
