1. How to count the number of records in a file ?
a) EXECIO * DISKR etc falls over at about 250,000 whether it's put on the stack or in a stem.
b) If it's a PDS (or I copy it to a PDS) the stats only show a maximum of 65536 even if there's more than that in the file.
2. How to wait a few seconds without tying up CPU. I don't know Assembler or Unix. There was an earlier discussion on this but it did not work for me.
