[WHILE <condition>]

Description
The COUNT command counts the number of records in the active table and stores the total to <memvar>. If no <scope> is specified, ALL records will be counted. If SET FILTER TO is in effect, then only those records that satisfy the filter <condition> are counted. If SET DELETED is ON, then records marked for deletion will not be included in the COUNT.
FOR <condition>
If the for <condition> is used then only the records that satisfy the specified <condition> are counted.
WHILE <condition>
The WHILE clause can be used in conjunction with the SEEK or LOCATE commands to restrict the range of records counted. When the WHILE option is used the <scope> defaults to REST.
Example
use patrons count to nResult for event = "CHOPIN" and date = date()
