Hi,

I have one job with 2 steps. In first step i will execute one program which will create one dataset. In step 2, if the data set created in step 1 contains records in it , step 2 should be executed else no execution of step 2. How to check that the dataset created in step 1 contains records or not.

Any solution please.

Thanks
Nadh.

nadh,

You can set a return code in step creating dataset to issue a specific return code if it had written more than 1 record. or else search the forum for "empty" and author "kolusu" and you will find many examples of checking for an empty file.
