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)

While we have consistently been impressed with the level of assistance we receive through your online chat portal, Geoff has been more than helpful and great to work with on every issue we’ve come across. He is quick to diagnose and resolve the issues. He also has offered to instruction and information to prevent future issues. He has even guided us through some functions of Accuzip we had not previously been utilizing. I wanted to take a minute and give a huge shout out to Geoff.
