Specifies that a report is to be produced containing statistics about the file. The /STATISTICS qualifier is used mainly on indexed files. By default, if you do not specify an output file with the /OUTPUT qualifier, the statistics report is written to the current SYS$OUTPUT device, which is generally your terminal. The /STATISTICS qualifier is not compatible with the /CHECK qualifier, the /FDL qualifier, the /INTERACTIVE qualifier, or the /SUMMARY qualifier. If /STATISTICS is used with any other qualifiers, /FDL takes precedence, and then /INTERACTIVE. All other qualifiers are ignored. The /STATISTICS qualifier does an implicit check.
