What happens if you try it?
I can see why you might want to send an 'empty' file but it would be better if the file had headers and trailers with a detail record count of 0 so that the receiver knows that the empty file is valid.

wangxi875230,
You canNOT send an empty file using TSO transmit command. You may try FTP

wangxi875230,
May be you need to follow Nick's advice of sending the file with a header and trailer at the end which contains the number of records sent. This will help validating that every record is transferred correctly and the receiving system can drop these 2 records after validation.

This seems rather clear. . .
You need to change the process to something that does work.

Possibly, this is where to start.
