====== RECORD.COUNT ======

==== Purpose ====

If supported by the BFS, used to return a record count for the file. The call is typically fulfilled within the filing system by reading a stored parameter.

==== Arguments ====

^Argument^Input/Output^Value^
|CODE|Input|28|
| |Output|unchanged|
|BFS|Input|BFS list|
| |Output|unchanged|
|HANDLE|Input|file handle|
| |Output|unchanged|
|NAME|Input|null|
| |Output|unchanged|
|FMC|Input|0|
| |Output|record count|
|RECORD|Input|null|
| |Output|unchanged|
|STATUS|Input|0|
| |Output|true if BFS is providing a record count in the FMC argument, false if the call is not supported by the BFS|

==== Note ====

This call was designed specifically for RTP57, which stores a record count as part of the file header. If the BFS does not support the call, a status of false is returned. In this case, processes that require a record count should execute a [[readnext|READNEXT]] loop to return a true record count.

==== Called by ====

BASIC+ [[get_reccount|Get.RecCount]] function, or a direct call
