I might think of a number of ways, though they might not all be considered as a "command is used". For example, CALL is a command and you can CALL any number of programs that give record counts. But I don't quite see what problem needs to be resolved. Tom

I agree with Tom, But I don’t quite see what problem needs to be resolved. This sounds like a homework or an interview question.

This could also be a trick question. When they are asking total records do they men active AND deleted ? If so the only way I know of seeing the number of deleted in is with DSPFD. You could also STRDFU option 5 on the file and roll back 1 screen to get the RRN of the last record in the file. I think charlie may have had a typo on his #2 should it have ben DSPPFM ?

[...] 8. ToddN2000 and Philpl1jb think Anupsshelke might have asked a trick question about what command is used to find the total number of records in a physical file. [...]
