Hi all,
Could anyone please let me know the Unix command to take the count for the Hashed file .

There isn't one.
In exactly the same way that there is no UNIX command for taking the count of an Oracle table.
A hashed file is how UniVerse database tables are implemented.

However, much like you can launch a sqlplus session and run a query from the command line, you can so something similar with 'dssh' as long as your hashed file is account-based.

Thanks chullet for your reply
Kindly suggest the command to get the count for the Hased file after launching dssh.

Oddly enough... 'count'.

Oh dear. Life is never that simple.
The actual command will differ depending on whether your hashed file is in the "account" (project) or a pathed hashed file, and you may need to perform further setup in the latter case. COUNT is a command from the RetrieVe query language; you may prefer to use SQL.

Never said it would be simple or that was the only answer. And I did mention the need for an account-based hashed file. And yes, you may prefer to use SQL.
