Hi,
My sort control card is as below.
| Code: |
//CTL2CNTL DD *
OPTION NULLOUT=RC16
INCLUDE COND=(1,10,CH,EQ,11,10,CH)
//*
|
This abends fine when the o/p is EMPTY.
But when this abends, I should display user error message in SPOOL such as 'The file is empty' and then abend the step. Is it possible to do that? Let the LRECL=80,RECFM=FB and assume that we need to copy input to output.
Regards
Amar |

Hello,
Do you get an rc16 when the file is empty?
If yes, this is NOT an abend and you can conditionally create any message you want. |

Hi Dick,
yes I got RC16 and the step stops the process. Now, do you mean I use this step's condition code and let the next step write error message into the SPOOL?

Yes, if the RC16 doesn't actually abend (RC not equal to zero does not indicate an abend) then you can have a subsequent conditional step.
You could also document it in the "run instructions", in your scheduler.... what is it you are trying to achieve by having a message produced as well? |

V S Amarendra Reddy,
1. Have MODE CONTINUE before your COPY step.
2. Change your CTL2CNTL to add another temp dataset(T1) which will have just the count
3. Add a COPY to your TOOLIN to copy T1 to MSG dataset using CTL3CNTL which will have IFTHEN=(when=(1,8,uff,eq,0),build=(c'THE FILE IS EMPTY ')) and when=none,build=(80x) |
