Hi @code2data 

 

You will just need to include a Count Records tool (found under the Transform section) before your output tool. This will count the number of records passing through the data stream that you can then use elsewhere.

@code2data as @davidskaife suggested you can add a count record tool like below

Hi DavidSkaife  and binuacs:

Thank you for your input. I am aware of the record count tool, as marked in below screenshot I want to find the count of the records in the file generated as output

@code2data you can use the Block Until Done tool and connect output tool and the record count tool
