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.

When output dataset space is required, what quantity categories are used?
1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
