My apologies for posting untested code.
And yes gcicchet you are right that SAS will return value 0 even if RC=16 with return is used within the SAS.
Thanks for correcting me.

Could anyone please tell me the logic?

I want to modify the Return code Value in the SAS, like forcing the JOB abend while Testing.

My Requirement:

If the output file has only 1 record, then modify the return code, the job (SAS step) should end with a non-zero return code.
If the output file has more than 1 record, the job should end with zero return code.

Thanks in advance.
