This can be done using ICETOOL.
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL
//IN DD DSN=……input file1
//TOOLMSGDD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//TOOLIN DD*
COUNT FROM(IN) EMPTY
/*
In the above JCL, Input file1 is empty. If we run this JCL
it will retrun NON-ZERO retrun code.
adv: It will be very helpful when we want to run some steps
after checking a particular file is empty or not.

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
