There are so many ways this can be done.

DFSORT/SYNCSORT
ICETOOL/SYNCTOOL
IDCAMS
FILEAID/FILEMANAGER
IEBPTPCH
ISRSUPC
EASYTRIEVE
Using REXX checking with EXECIO / LISTDSI



Using SORT is the easiest:

//jobcard

//S010 EXEC PGM=SORT,PARM='NULLOUT=RC4'
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=<datasetname>
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*


-- RC 4 if Empty
RC 0 if there is data.
