Is there any way to get access to the Statement Execution count as a system variable in code?

I am running code and receive error message about exceeding the limit " The number of deluge statement execution limit exceeded the maximum limit"

I have read the help file and forum posts on this. I would like to modify my script to avoid these errors and would like to be able to measure the effects of changes.

Is this value available in Deluge code so I can write it to an info statement at various points in my code?

Thanks
