 |
|
Hi,
we have a file-aid step in JCL, if the Input file is empty then it returns RC=8.
Can i get RC = 0 even if input file is empty.
I know we can do it by reseting parameters to file-aid. Any other solution possible thru file-aid control cards itself ??
Let me know
Thanks |

Anand_123,
As you already mentioned FILE-AID cannot issue zero return code without passing the overririding the parms . you can use sort to set the code to zero.

You can set the return code using IDCAMS.
| Code: | //S2 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
IF LASTCC NE 0 THEN
SET MAXCC=0
/* |
Your first may be the FILEAID step. |

IDCAMS can set the CCODE for its own step only, not the MAXCC for the whole job.

Anand_123,
You can set the code to 0 in file-aid provided that you override the installation default parms. If you are NOT willing to do that then yes you cannot set the return code to 0 using fileaid.
Here is a sort step that will set the return code to zero as sort doesn't really distinguish between empty files or files with data
| Code: |
//STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=your input empty file,disp=shr
//SORTOUT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY
/*

Actually, z/OS DFSORT V1R5 does distinguish between empty files and files with data via the NULLOUT parameter. The shipped default is NULLOUT=RC0 which gives RC=0 whether the file is empty or not. However, NULLOUT=RC4 or NULLOUT=RC16 can be used to give RC=4 or RC=16, respectively, if the output file is empty. These can be set as the installation default for the site or used for individual applications. In addition, NULLOFL can be specifeid on individual OUTFIL statements.
