Is there a way to check for an empty file in JCL other than
using IEBCOMPR and the command PRINT COUNT(1)?

Answer Posted / arul anand.a
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INDD DD DSN=FILE1,
// DISP=SHR
//OUTDD DD DSN=FILE2,
// DISP=SHR,
REPRO INFILE(INDD) OUTFILE(OUTDD) COUNT(1)
THIS WILL GIVE RC = 04 IF THE INFILE IS EMPTY.
OTHERWISE IT WILL GIVE 0.
