Record Count

FL4

On an ADATA Compilation Unit End record, a count of all the ADATA records for this compilation unit. (On an ADATA Compilation Unit Start record, this field should be zero, unless the producing translator has foreknowledge of the exact number of records to be written, in which case it must be identical to the count in the Compilation Unit End record. Otherwise, it might be ignored by any consumer of the ADATA stream.)

In High Level Assembler, the record count in the ADATA Compilation Unit Start record is always zero.
