That depands on the structure in your master file. If it is a single hierarchy you need to count one of the fields in the lowest segment.

Hello Hemin,

What do you need to do with the count? Can you not just

TABLE FILE XX
COUNT FIELDNAME
ON TABLE HOLD
END
-RUN
-READ HOLD &CNTR
...
That should give you the count. Now what do you want to do with that information? If you need to retrieve the count, -READ that number and you can use it in a variable.

Hope that helps.

All these nifty commands in the Keysheet.

Are you saying that you want to know the number of lines in a master file?

You can read it with -READ and -REPEAT and count each line, but that's not something you want to do with large quantities of master files...

ok here's a really primitive way to do it...
but then, I like to code.. I feel better. 

FILEDEF MYFILE DISK MYFILE.MAS
-RUN
-WRITE MYFILE FILENAME=MYFILE , SUFFIX=FIX,$
-WRITE MYFILE SEGMENT=MYFILE,SEGTYPE=S0,$
-WRITE MYFILE FIELDNAME=MASTERLINE, ALIAS=E01,USAGE=A70V,ACTUAL=A70V,$
-CLOSE MYFILE
 
-RUN
-SET &kounter = 0 ;
FILEDEF MYFILE DISK  C:\ibi\apps\ibisamp\car.mas
-RUN
 
-:toploop
-READ MYFILE &MYLINE.A70.
-IF &RETCODE NE 0 GOTO :endloop ;
-IF &MYLINE.QUOTEDSTRING LIKE '$%' GOTO :toploop; 
-SET &kounter = &kounter + 1 ;
-TYPE &|kounter: &kounter &|RETCODE:&RETCODE  &MYLINE
-IF &kounter GT 100 GOTO :endloop ;
-GOTO :toploop ;
-:endloop
-TYPE &|kounter: &kounter &|RETCODE:&RETCODE

Maybe see if CHECK FILE will work for you?
CHECK FILE CAR HOLD AS HLDMASTR
-RUN
TABLE FILE HLDMASTR
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS DUMMY
END
-RUN
-SET &WORK = &LINES;
-TYPE &WORK records held.

Hemin,
If I understand you correctly you want to know how many lines there are in a MASTER file.
If so try the following:
  
EX -LINES 6 EDAPUT MASTER,MS,C,MEM 
FILENAME=MS, SUFFIX=FIX
SEGNAME=L, SEGTYPE=S0
FIELDNAME=CH, FORMAT=A1, ACTUAL=A1, $
SEGNAME=R, PARENT=L, OCCURS=VARIABLE
FIELDNAME=CHR, FORMAT=A1, ACTUAL=A1,$
-RUN
-DEFAULT &FNAME-CAR
CHECK FILE &FNAME HOLD AS MS
-RUN
TABLE FILE MS
COUNT CH 
END
