>There was just another thread on this topic. To find the number of records in a SQL-SELECT cursor you use _tally. RECCOUNT() is for physical tables not cursors. Rushmore may implement a cursor as a SET FILTER if that's the fastest way to do it.

I've read the topic but it isn't about. I'm not misinterpreting _tally and reccount(). The problem is that the same select (SELECT COUNT(*)) returns two different results - depending on the exsistence of 'deleted' tag.
