@INROWNUM or @OUTROWNUM.
DSLinkRowCount is similar to @OUTROWNUM not simlar to @INROWNUM.
Have a constraint in the transformer, you can find the difference.
Impossible doesn't mean 'it is not possible' actually means... 'NOBODY HAS DONE IT SO FAR'

There is only one @INROWNUM, and only on the stream input link into a Transformer stage.

DSLinkRowCount (or DSGetLinkInfo) can be used on every link in the job.
