The listing file that is shown after a batch application runs displays the number of cases and records. If you need that information in logic, you might consider writing code like this:
PROC GLOBAL
numeric caseCounter;
numeric recordCounter;
PROC APPLICATION_FF
errmsg("There were %d cases and %d records in the data file.",caseCounter,recordCounter);
PROC QUEST
inc(caseCounter);
inc(recordCounter,count(REC1)); // instead of REC1, REC2, ...
inc(recordCounter,count(REC2)); // use the names of the records in your dictionary
inc(recordCounter,count(REC3));
inc(recordCounter,count(REC4));
