Count marked records and fill count into another field

This command can take the total number of times a given value is in a field, and put the count into another field. In the example below, if you have 50 marked records, it'll put the number 50 into field1 for every marked record.

PUBLIC com_Count SET TALK OFF COUNT FOR !EMPTY(x) TO com_Count REPLACE field1 WITH ALLT(STR(com_Count)) FOR !EMPTY(x)

PUBLIC com_Count
SET TALK OFF
COUNT FOR !EMPTY(x) TO com_Count
REPLACE field1 WITH ALLT(STR(com_Count)) FOR !EMPTY(x)

For the sake of looking at a specific value in a field, you could change the last two lines of the command to:

COUNT FOR "X" $ x TO com_Count REPLACE field1 WITH ALLT(STR(com_Count)) FOR "X" $ x

COUNT FOR "X" $ x TO com_Count
REPLACE field1 WITH ALLT(STR(com_Count)) FOR "X" $ x

If field1 is a Numeric type field, change the last line of the command to read:

REPLACE field1 WITH com_Count FOR !EMPTY(x)

REPLACE field1 WITH com_Count FOR !EMPTY(x)

I have been working in pretty much all areas of senior-level IT and Data Processing for many years and have had countless hours of experience engaging with customer support. I’ve never had better support than what I receive from Accuzip! Seriously, any time I call, email, or go to the online chat, someone responds in less than a minute, is always very patient and pleasant, and resolves my issue quickly. Aside from just fixing the problem, your support team always takes the time to explain what the problem was and how to prevent it. It is very refreshing and encouraging to see that real support still exists. Thanks to the Accuzip Team! I look forward to many more years of engagement with your Team.
