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

Answer / 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.

By using a simple selcopy we can determine whether the file
is empty or not. IF file is empty then we can set the
return code of the step in the selcopy code.

Use the SORT utility with NULLOUT=RC04 OR RC16..If the file
is empty the step returns either 04 or 16 depending on what
you coded.

By adding an ICETOOL (DFSORT) step you can force a return
code on empty with the COUNT (dd) EMPTY this will set RC to
12 so your Batch scheduler may not like it.

You could write a REXX EXEC to read your required files then
have the exec sumbit the job to the internal reader with
either omitted steps or condition step coding. The IEBPTPCH
technique will work too.
