Appending Record Count to the Output File

A simple to way to add the record count to the output file in MPE/iX is to use the Echo command and the SuprtoolFullCount hpvariable. The only thing to remember is that the output file must have room for the extra line.

  !job mgr.test
  !run suprtool.pub.robelle
    base    store
    get     m-customer
    numrecs 105%             {build output bigger}
    set     squeeze off      {don't make limit = eof}
    output  cust
    exit
  !
  !file cust,old
  !echo Total number of customers = !suprtoolfullcount>> *cust
  !eoj
