No its not possible at all.
If u are using a empty VSAM file it ll show:
FILE STATUS : 35
If you want to read it you have to get inside the file and
incert a dummy record there.

Sorry, We can't use Empty VSAM as input. . .
As it contains no records, open will fail with some
filestatus code.
But We can use Empty vsam as output.
During first run open the file in output mode.
In consecutive runs change the mode to extend.
Sample :
open output esdsfilename.
If (filestatus = 35 or filestatus = 37 ) then
open extend esdsfilename
end-if.

No, we can not creat empty VSAM as input. I think , when
we have to put null record it the VSAM file for empty VSAM
as input. Otherwise it will give us file status as 35.
