Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| <Source> | Not used, but a source variable has to be supplied for symmetry reasons. |
| <Result> | The name of the object to place the resulting average in. |
Remarks
Count will only work in conjunction with the LEVEL_BREAK command inside a general loop, a 'readfile' loop or 'query' loop.
Example
readfile (lbfile, rec_lbf)
lay_emp.dept := rec_lbf.dept
lay_emp.empnr := rec_lbf.empnr
lay_emp.salary := rec_lbf.salary
lay_hdr.hdept := rec_lbf.dept
level_break (rec_lbf.dept, lay_ftr, lay_hdr, 3)
count (rec_lbf.salary, lay_ftr.count)
maximum (rec_lbf.empnr, lay_ftr.maxemp)
variance (rec_lbf.salary, lay_ftr.varsal)
print (lay_emp)
