COUNT

Displays the number of rows in a specific table that satisfy selection criteria in an Access Definition. This command is available during an edit or browse session, a Point-and-Shoot session, and an Extract File or Archive File browse session.

COUNT  [table]

table: Name of the table for which a row count is to be displayed.

During an edit or browse session, the table can be indicated by positioning the cursor in the window containing the selected table, explicitly naming the table, or specifying the identifier Tn or Vn. If a table is not specified, the lowest-level displayed table is assumed in columnar mode and the current table in sidelabels.
The COUNT command is useful when the number of eligible rows in the database exceeds the maximum number of fetch rows. You can use the MAX FETCH command to respecify the limit or you can respecify the selection criteria to obtain a smaller set of rows.
