Answer Posted / nkumar
Yes without reading a file we can check the existence of records in a file. There are 3 ways.
1) Type DSPFD and define the file and press enter. Go to las and see the total no of records.
2) Using the file information data structure.
3) Using the RTVMBRD using in the CL program and check teh NBRCURRCD filed value. this will have the total no of records.
