Re: Syntax for Count(*)

[Sam Spritzer <SSpritzer@GW.CTG.COM>]

In almost all cases, the first line is usually "begin-Procedure" so it seems 
that this rule is redundant anyway.

Clarification:

You can't have non-SQL lines (eg, let ...) start in the 1st 'position'
WITHIN the begin-select and end-select... The first position is for
select columns... and subsequent SQL (eg, from, where, ...)

...
!   Below is outside of select (Position 1) - OKAY
let #ERNctr = 0

begin-select

b.erncd
count(*)     &b.count

  !   Below is indented (Not in Position 1) - OKAY
  let #ERNctr                = #ERNctr   1
  let ERNmtx.ERNttl(#ERNctr) = &b.erncd
  if  #ERNctr >= 10
      exit-select
  end-if

 from s_dhm_emp_detail   b
where ...
group by b.erncd
order by 2 desc, 1

end-select

...
