Description

The TAGCOUNT() function returns the number of tags in a particular .dbx file. With no parameters, the TAGCOUNT() function operates on the currently active .dbx file in the currently selected workarea. A .dbx file is active if one of the tags contained within the .dbx file is the master index order. The TAGCOUNT() function will return a zero if the file is a single (.ndx) file or if there are no indexes active.


Parameter Description

<alias> The workarea in which to operate. Specified in any of the following ways:

A workarea number: 1-DB_MAXWKA A workarea letter: A-Z (a-z) excluding M (m). A table alias. The alias can be specified in the USE command. If not specified, the table basename is used.
