This has nothing to do with the request. . .

The request is about something that has a jcl error not an abend.

I will suggest a simple solution, but cannot assure that its the most efficient solution.

Write a small program, this program will simply do a read on each file which your JCL is using. If any one of the file as REC-CNT=0 then set the RECTURN CODE of the program to 3 and if all the files are not empty then set the RC=0. This way you can control the running of all the steps with the RC set by your program.

Makw sure this should be the first step in your JCL.

Hope this helps you.

And wishing all a Happy New Year

Thanks,
Computer

And what if a file could be empty at the successful end of a program?

We're talking about JCL errors and not an abend during the course of JCL execution. Confused

E.g.:if step 3 has COND=EVEN mentioned and some JCL error occurs in step 2 then step 3 will not run while if an abend occurs in step2 , COND=EVEN will come itno effect and step 3 will execute.
