I'm creating a job that runs when 2 input files exist. The problem is one of the files will not always be there. I need to figure out a way in the JCL to check if a file is cataloged already without blowing up with a nocatlog2 error and if it isn't, create an empty file and if it is go to the next step. Any ideas?

aportoni,

Code a IEFBR14 step with disp=mod prior to your actual processing step.If the dataset exist it will continue or else it will allocate a new dataset
