 |
|
Hi,
A nightly job creates a file . I need to find out the size of the file and based on the size I need to make a decision of whether to FTP the file or not.
Is batch way to find out the size of the file ? (KB,MB... )

| I'd use SORT to create a record count, then decide based on the number of records. |

Martin,
you can have a rough estimate of total bytes by this formula
| Code: |
total bytes = Lrecl * Record count
|
So if your lrecl is 80 and you 620 records then total bytes = 80 * 620 = 49,600
1 KB = 1024 bytes
1 MB = 1024 * 1024 bytes.

You cam add a step with REXX, and set a return code based on the size.

Martin,
Why not put a rec ctr in the pgm that creates the file, then use Kolusu's equation to calc the file size. Set a RC for the ftp step based on the calc..
