   sDatabase is a database alias whose record count is to be returned.

 Return
   The number of records in the database file.

 Description
   The areccount() function returns the number of records within the

   all records regardless of set filter to and set delete. Use
   the count to command if these conditions need to be regarded.

   proc Test_areccount
   open sTest index sIdxLN
   seek "Vanderbilt"
   if found()
      // show percentage of database where a certain record is found
      ? "Record found at", istr( 100 * recno() / areccount( sTest ) ), "%"
   endif
   endproc

   proc main
   Test_areccount()
   endproc
