Hi siva,

Using this code, you can only

//*
//STEP10 EXEC PGM=CTEMPTDS,
// COND=(4,LT)
//*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=ABC.ABCD.ABCD.t1,DISP=SHR
//* ABC.ABCD.ABCD.T1 is the file
// IF NOT ( STEP10.RC = 4000 ) THEN
//* The jcl code to be executed after this
//*
//*
//*
// ENDIF

Have a Nice day

bye,
Sudhir R

Hi sudhir,

Thanks for u r help. I think the following should also work

//SIVAJET JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//EMPTYDD DD DSN=SSS036.SIVAMAIN.JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
PRINT INFILE(EMPTYDD) COUNT(1)
/*
//

PLEASE TRY ANY ONE THIS JCL AND TELL ME RESULT

If the maxcc=0 then we can predict that the given dataset is nonempty
If the maxcc=4 then we can predict that the given dataset is empty

It's just a trail if there is anything wrong let me know

waiting for anyone's reply

BYEE
SIVA
