I've got the following file:

123 123
123 456
123 789
123 012

124 876
124 943
124 124
124 086

I'd like to add the count of 'subsidary' records to the 'prime record' and all 'subsidiary' records.

I've gotten the count into the 'prime' record:
123 123 0003
123 456 0000
123 789 0000
123 012 0000

124 876 0000
124 943 0000
124 124 0003
124 086 0000

by using some examples of splice but I'm stuck with replecating the count
to each set of records, i.e.,

123 123 0003
123 456 0003
123 789 0003
123 012 0003

124 876 0000
124 943 0003
124 124 0003
124 086 0003

Any help or pointers would be appreciated

Thanks,

The only change you would need is use COUNT-1 instead of count.

Kolusu,

Thanks for the help.

I found that example and that's what I used to get the counts that I have
but what I'm looking to do is have the count of the 'secondary' records IN
each of the secondary records also.

The original file is keep the same except that there is a count of the number of secondary records in each set in each record.

Does that make sense?

Kolusu,

Sigh, some days you know you should have been a plumber ...

Some other processing I had to do to this file got me looking at it the wrong way.
I had the answer all along.

Thank you for your help.
