Answer / raghu
This can be done using ICETOOL.
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//IN DD DSN=……input file1
//TOOLMSGDD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN DD*
COUNT FROM(IN) EMPTY
/*
In the above JCL, Input file1 is empty. If we run this JCL
it will retrun NON-ZERO retrun code.
adv: It will be very helpful when we want to run some steps
after checking a particular file is empty or not.

Compare the file with another known empty file. IEBCOMPR

Answer / deepak dada, jaipur
the handling would happen
if the file is empty then pass the zero to return code in
cobol program
then go to jcl step and check for the conditiom code( 0,
eq) where the program is getting called and do whatever you
want to do
