Insert a IDCAMS step between the two step here is the Eg


//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=MY.SORT.FILE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=MY.SORT.FILE2,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*

//* Checking the File for any data
//*

//CHEKEMTY EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//MYFILE DD DSN=MY.SORT.FILE2,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
PRINT INFILE(MYFILE) CHARACTER COUNT(1)
//*

//* If above step gives RC=04 it means file1 is empty
//* so STEP02 would only execute if step CHEKEMTY has
//* RC Not equal to 04.

//STEP02 EXEC PGM=SASSTRLR,
// PARM='INACT',COND=(04,EQ,CHEKEMTY)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DEMAND ABCXYZ
//*
