There are two ways to check for the file empty or not.
1) With FILEAID
2) With IEBPTPCH

//STEPXX EXEC PGM=FILEAID
//DD01 DD DSN=P1.SEQUEN.INPUT.FILE,DISP=SHR
//DD01O DD DUMMY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
other is

//STEPXX EXEC PGM=IEBPTPCH
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=P1.SEQUEN.INPUT.FILE,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD DSN=SYS1.CTLLIB(P1CTL),DISP=SHR

where CTL card has
PRINT TYPORG=PS,CNTRL=1

The either of above step gets RC=04 then the file is empty
else if its zero then file has some data in it.
