By default, DFSORT will sort, merge or copy an empty input file sucessfully as having no input records and no output records.
With z/OS DFSORT V1R5, you can use the NULLOUT installation or run-time option to tell DFSORT what to do when there are no records for the SORTOUT data set as follows:
NULLOUT=RC16 - issue message ICE206A, terminate, and give a return code of 16.
NULLOUT=RC4 - issue message ICE173I, set a return code of 4, and continue processing.
NULLOUT=RC0 (shipped default) - issue message ICE173I, set a return code of 0, and continue processing. |
