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)

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 

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

REPLACE field1 WITH com_Count FOR !EMPTY(x)

I Just wanted to let you know we are in the Postal Fort Worth Texas Division and I received a call from someone in their office today wanting to ask me some questions. He asked if I understood about the changes with the move update starting for this month, then he asked me what software we were using. I explained to him that we have been using AccuZIP Software for the last 20 years and I thought you were the #1 in the United States. I told him that you were the only software displayed in the Postal Section of the Smithsonian Institute. He asked me if I had to manually change the updated addresses and I told him no that the Software did it for us and I could print a report showing the old address and the new address. He told me out of 32,000 names that were updated only 3 were wrong and he just wanted to call me to see what Software we were using. Thanks for such good software and support from your company over the past 20 years.
