In issue 8 of Volume 3 a symbolic called GAS_BAR was referred to which displays progress through a file on a SELECT statement. In the pseudo code it was suggested that the record count for the file be obtained using GET.RECCOUNT. Bear in mind that @PRI.FILE will contain the file variable for the file currently being selected; thus avoiding the need for parsing @SENTENCE. The syntax would be REC_CNT = Get.Reccount(@PRI.FILE, Valid, "").
