The following programs demonstrate the use of the COUNT function
    in a display statement. These programs:

    o  Use the COUNT function to compute the number of records stored
       in the EMPLOYEES relation

    o  Print an informational message and this computed number

1  –  C Example

    #include <stdio.h>
    DATABASE PERS = FILENAME "PERSONNEL";

    int num;
    main()
    {
    READY PERS;
    START_TRANSACTION READ_ONLY;

    GET
       num = COUNT OF E IN EMPLOYEES;
    END_GET;

    printf ("The number of employees is %d", num);

    COMMIT;
    FINISH;
    }

2  –  Pascal Example

    program display_count (input,output);
    DATABASE PERS = FILENAME 'PERSONNEL';

    var
    num : integer;

    begin
    READY PERS;
    START_TRANSACTION READ_ONLY;

    GET
      num = COUNT OF E IN EMPLOYEES;
    END_GET;

    writeln ('The number of employees is', num);

    COMMIT;
