Is there a way to find the record count in a large file using VEDIT, without ever browsing to the End of File ?

Thanks
Jai

If the file has fixed-length records, divide the file size by the record length.

If the file has variable-length records, your request is not even theoretically possible; something has to count the end-of-line characters.
