There are so many utilities(ICetool, IDcams, Iebgener)
which we can make use to check whether a file is empty.
//Jobcard
//stepname exec pgm=idcams
//dd1 dd dsn=xxx.pds,disp=shr
//sysin dd *
print infile(dd1) count(1)
/*
Here the job will give a return code '0' if the file has
atleast 1 record and RC-4 if there are no records
Suppose you want to check whether any records are there
apart from header and trailer. then Make the count as Count
(3).
//sysin dd *
print infile(dd1) count(3)
/*

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
