Hi,
I have the parm parameter for sort PARM='VSAMEMT=YES' which will help us not to abend the job if the input vsam file is empty.
general scenario is when PARM='VSAMEMT=YES' is not specified for PGM=SORT the job will abend if the vsam file is empty...
soo are there any parm parameter for sort just like above..
Thanks |

Hi,
I'd suggest running DFSORT step using COUNT with EMPTY to set a cond code when the file is empty. You can then use the cond code to bypass the step that would abend with an empty file.
Regards,
Garry. |

chennai,
DFSORT's VSAMEMT=YES parameter specifies that DFSORT accepts an empty VSAM input data set and processes it as having zero records.

I don't understand your question. Please state what you're trying to do more clearly.
If you want to set a non-zero return code for an empty output file, you can use DFSORT's NULLOUT or NULLOFL parameter. |
