I have one file/report with following format:
first 3 lines are for information then records are printed from fourth line:
line 1: Cycle date:mm/dd/yyyy report id:ABC
line 2: name of report
line 3: empid emp name emp dept
line 4: record1 abc test
and so on...
my requirement is if there are no records in file i.e only line 1,2 and 3 are present the same file should be emptied or first three lines to be removed. |

| Look at the IDCAMS PRINT command using the COUNT parameter and it will become clear grasshopper. |

Yes, but don't forget to add the rather important following information ......
If there are 4 or more records in the file the return code will be zero, if not, the return code will be nonzero |
