DSGetLinkInfo is a Function for obtaining information about a link on an active stage.This routine may reference either
a controlled job or the current job, depending on the value of JobHandle.

Syntax
Result = DSGetLinkInfo (JobHandle, StageName, LinkName, InfoType)

where as DSJ.LINKROWCOUNT is one of the InfoType which is integer indicating number of rows that have passed down the link so far.

Names are case sensitive, so DSLinkrowcount does not exist and that is one big difference.

Otherwise the previous answer is good, but incomplete. DSJ.LINKROWCOUNT can be used as the fourth (InfoType) argument in the DSGetLinkInfo() function.

It depends on which version you are running, on whether the compiler directive $OPTIONS NO.CASE has been asserted. I always have case sensitivity switched on.
