Getting values with criteria from a field

Hello!

I've created an option type field in the Item(27) table with options 1, 2 and 3. If I'm counting the number of objects with, let's say, option 2, then how do I get that object in code?
I have:

IF _Item.FINDSET THEN
REPEAT
_SoftcaseObjects += _Item.<this is where the option should be if I'm on the right track>;
UNTIL _Item.NEXT = 0;

Thanks in advance!
