Doing rtecall("count") from JavaScript

[blarsen]

This might well be bloody obvious for you guys, but I just now figured out how to do a rtecall("count") from JavaScript.

function getRecordCount(filename, query) {
var  dummy = new SCDatum();
var  countResult = new SCDatum();
var  rc = new SCDatum();
 
var  flag = system.functions.rtecall("rinit",
      dummy, rc, filename);
var  flag =  system.functions.rtecall("count",
      dummy, rc, query, countResult);
 
return countResult.getText();
}
 
var  r = getRecordCount("operator","name#\"F\"");
print("there are "+r+" operators whose name begins with F");
r  = getRecordCount("operator","true");
print("there is a total of "+r+" operators");

Thanks.

I actually wrote another script to do the same. Except it looped through all records and counted records that way.

Yeah, me too. A bit of a pain for wide queries towards incidents or probsummary.
