Abstract: This paper is part of a program to study the conjecture of E. C. Dade on counting characters in blocks for several finite groups.

The invariant conjecture of Dade is proved for general linear and unitary groups when the characteristic of the modular representation is distinct from the defining characteristic of the groups.
