My problem statement is that, If my input file is empty, copy a dummy record from dummy file else no operation is reqd.
This is infact simple, like using IDcams or sort to check the emptiness of a file, take that reurncode and based on return code in next step i can
copy the summy file.
But the problem is that, i shouldnt alter the RC of my job.if i do the above i would defenetly have my job RC altered.:$
so the tricky part is that, i need to do this copy of dummy only if my file is empty in one single step !!
Is this possible by any means ??
My gutt feel is that, almight sort would be having a solution, but couldnt get any solution.
Thanks!! |

Hello,
It may be possible to get the result you want with no steps. . .
Why is there a need to do anything other than concatenate the 2 files as input? |

karthik_sripal,
I think you dont need an additional SORT. The below IDCAMS alone will do what you are trying.
| Code: |
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INDD1 DD DSN=... Input file
//INDD2 DD *
DUMMY RECORD
//OUTDD DD DSN=... Output file
//SYSIN DD *
PRINT IFILE(INDD1) COUNT(1)
IF LASTCC=4 THEN -
DO
SET MAXCC=0
REPRO IFILE(INDD2) OFILE(OUTDD)
END |

...I'm confused, I certainly didn't understand the Statement 1, karthik_sripal - what MAXCC are you looking for? |

| Anuj, methinks the OP wants only RC=0. |

My "approach" (if it will work for you - which depends on more info than has been posted) concatenates the the dataset with the unknown content and a dataset that is empty or contains only a "dummy" record.
Whether this could work depends on the code that reads the data eventuallly. |

I was looking for Maxcc of 0 after my processing.
I was getting maxcc 0 in the AS-IS processing and missed to mention that in my thread, I guess now it is clear
Looks like i definetly need to improve on my communication. |
