How to test thru JCL if any file(PS or VSAM) is empty or
not. I do not want to use any COBOL prog or Ezytrieve and
want to do using utility.

Answer Posted / deb

First SORT the input file.
Assume the sorted o/p is in MY.SORT.FILE, then run this step

//CHEKEMTY EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//MYFILE DD DSN=MY.SORT.FILE,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
PRINT INFILE(MYFILE) CHARACTER COUNT(1)

if the above step returns a RC=4, then the file is
empty

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
