Sorry, We can't use Empty VSAM as input. . .
As it contains no records, open will fail with some
filestatus code.
But We can use Empty vsam as output.
During first run open the file in output mode.
In consecutive runs change the mode to extend.
Sample :
open output esdsfilename.
If (filestatus = 35 or filestatus = 37 ) then
open extend esdsfilename
end-if.
