[Q] Pro*C: How many rows selected?

A Pro*C question:
Is there a possibility to get the number of rows selected after an OPEN CURSOR statement *before* doing a FETCH? (after the FETCH I can see the fetched rows in sqlca.sqlerrd[2]).

or do I have to use "SELECT count(*)" first, which means actually doing the same call twice?

I'm using Pro*C 1.5, ORACLE 7.1

        Thanx, Wolfgang.
