I've either missed something completely or you really must get some absolutely basic training.

If you simply want a sum:

SUM <column name>



If you want counts and sums:

SUM CNT.<column name>

or

COUNT SUM.<column name>

WHEN I DO SUM
I GET THE RESAULT OF HOW MANY ROW I HAVE

BUT WHAT I NEED IS TO COUNT THE DATA INSIDE THE ROW

You are very unclear about what you are trying to do.

As Dan said if you do SUM column name against a data source it will give you a sum of the data values
if the column is numeric. If the column is alpha it will give you the last value.

COUNT or CNT. will give you a count of the column based on any sort you have.

My suspicion however is that you are trying to count the elements of an array which is a totally different thing.

An example of your data and the associated master might shed more light on what you are actually trying to do.
