This gives an example of how you can multiply the number of occurances, you could then do different things based on the value of counter:
Note if the hold file with the counter is not created as an indexed focus file the world does not multiply the data and weird things occur.

DEFINE FILE CAR
BLANK/A1 WITH MODEL = ' ';
COUNTER/I1 WITH MODEL = COUNTER + 1;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTER
BY BLANK
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 5
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT FOCUS INDEX BLANK
END
JOIN BLANK WITH MODEL IN CAR TO ALL BLANK IN HOLD1 AS J1
DEFINE FILE CAR
BLANK/A1 WITH MODEL = ' ';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
BY COUNTER
END
