There are two steps in a JCl, the first one generates a
report while the second step send an email saying the
report has been generated, but the second steps should only
be executed when the report file is non-empty. How can it
be acheived. We may include steps in between.

Insert a IDCAMS step between the two step here is the Eg
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=MY.SORT.FILE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=MY.SORT.FILE2,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*
//* Checking the File for any data
//*
//CHEKEMTY EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//MYFILE DD DSN=MY.SORT.FILE2,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
PRINT INFILE(MYFILE) CHARACTER COUNT(1)
//*
//* If above step gives RC=04 it means file1 is empty
//* so STEP02 would only execute if step CHEKEMTY has
//* RC Not equal to 04.
//STEP02 EXEC PGM=SASSTRLR,
// PARM='INACT',COND=(04,EQ,CHEKEMTY)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *

Just my thought -
You can set a code in your cobol program that writes the
report file to set a certain "return code" in the RETURN-
CODE field before exiting the program.
Depending on that return code from the program, you can
code IF END IF in your JCL.
Please let me know if that is wrong.

Use IEBPTPCH utility to verify the records in the input
file. if you get other than zero return code (2 or 4), then
there is no records in the input file(input file is empty).
based on the return code from the step1, step2 will execute
otherwise skip step2.

Hi, I have 3 files say file A , file B and file C.I want to form an output file in which i will have all the records from file A. Files B and C also may contain records that are present in file A.I want those records also to be included in my output file. for eg: file A contains: 1 2 3 file B contains: 2 4 5 file C contains: 1 3 5 So in my output file should look like: 1 2 3 2 1 3 Can any one help ???.....thanks in advance.
