  Maybe using infoCallback is more appropriate for you requirements. Assign result.records to a global variable that you can access from within the infoCallback function.

  Thank you. It did the trick.

  Here is the complete solution for the benefit of the others:

              booksifno = '';
              function loadBooks (url){
                        $.ajax({
                          url: url,
                          type: "GET"
                        }).done(function (result) {
                          table2 .clear().draw();
                          table2 .rows.add(result.data).draw();
                          table2 .columns.adjust();
                          booksinfo = " of " + result.records;
                           table2 .responsive.recalc();
                        });
              }
           
          table2 = $("#table2").DataTable({
             "infoCallback": function( settings, start, end, max, total, pre ) {
              return "Showing " + total + booksinfo;
            },
          });
