&SYS.FILE.RCNT The &SYS.FILE.RCNT system variable contains a count of the number of records
generically deleted by the FILE DEL verb.
&SYS.FILE.RCNT
Considerations
If no records are deleted, &SYS.FILE.RCNT is set to 0 (zero). If only a single
record is deleted, &SYS.FILE.RCNT is set to 1 (one).
&SYS.FILE.RCNT remains unchanged until another FILE DEL or FILE CLOSE
verb is issued.
See also the FILE DEL and FILE CLOSE verbs in Section 3, “Verbs.”
