Tool sditerator


Get the total number of sdrecords in this sditerator.


Synopsis
length()


Description
Returns the total number of sdrecords that are found in this sditerator. Note that for the flat-table data set, this may require examining each row of the table to see if there is more than one sdrecord stored in that row hence this may be an expensive operation for that type of table. Using more and next is always a faster way to step through (iterate) an sditerator (rather than using length and setlocation in a for loop).
