In the above Question there are no details about how the
file is getting created say, whether they are creating a
file using a program which may or may not populate data
into the file or using some IBM utilities for the sake of
only creation of file.
Consider the first Case: If file is getting created in a
step where the program may or maynot populate the file,
Then we can use IDCAMS or INSYNC or FILEAID or some
other utilities to check the emptiness of a file.
If it is the other case: Using file creation utilities only
for the sake of creation then only we can use cond
parameter.
