How to know the number of records in a dataset using script? [message #674033]

The question seems simple, but I cannot find a way to know the size of the dataset, something like dataset.size(), how to do that?
Also, when to put this function? in dataset afterOpen event?

I am using birt designer 2.2.1.

Thanks.

Why not just add a computed column to the dataset that uses the
aggregate count? See attached example.

thanks for the reply.
Sometimes I think the dataset must has record but the table binding to the dataset does not show any record, so I want to use script to debug, so any scripting method can do that (show the number of record in a dataset, something like dataset.size())?

thanks.

You could always put a script in the onFetch like

importPackage( Packages.java.io );
out = new PrintWriter( new FileWriter( "c:/test/ds.txt", true ) );
out.println( "row value "+ dataSetRow["ORDERNUMBER"]);
out.close();
