Data Set record count (not orchadmin)

[PhilHibbs]

An IBM chap recently told me that there is a utility that retrieves the record count from a .ds Data Set - not orchadmin but some other utility. Any ideas what he was referring to? I can't remember!

I can get the info from orchadmin, I can do "lf -d" and parse the text output looking for "records : " but if there's a utility that just gets the record count then that would be better.

Just as I hit "Submit", a solution occurred to me - have a look in the PXEngine/bin directory and see if anything rings a bell! The answer is: dsrecords.

...as documented in the Ochestrate guide

There's an Orchestrate guide? I found some info in the Advanced Parallel Job Developer's Guide, and once I knew the answer I did find dsrecords documented in there, do you mean that?

Well... there is an actual "Orchestrate Guide" but according to Ray you have to request it from your support provider.

Which version of advanced parallel job guide are you referring. I don't recollect having read about dsrecords in version 7.5 however dsrecords is documented in orchestrate users guide
