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.

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.
