Server routine

[vamsi_4a6]

I am using below routine to calculate the no of records in a file but it is throwing compilation error

Code: Select all

Function CheckFileRecords(Arg1,Arg2)

vParamFile = Arg1 : "/" : Arg2
vCountVal = 0

OpenSeq vParamFile To FileVar Else
	Call DSLogWarn("Cannot open ":vParamFile , "Cannot Open ParamFile")
End

Loop
	ReadSeq Dummy From FileVar Else Exit ;* at end-of-file
	vCountVal = vCountVal + 1
Repeat

CloseSeq FileVar

Ans=vCountVal
Return (vCountVal)

Error:
Compiling: Source = 'DSU_BP/DSU.CheckFileRecords', Object = 'DSU_BP.O/DSU.CheckFileRecords'

0002 Function CheckFileRecords(Arg1,Arg2)

Ditch the first line.

You also don't need the Return as the routine will automatically return Ans back to the caller.

[ray.wurlod]

Also ditch the RETURN function. RETURN(Ans) is automatically created.

As noted.
