My requirement is to abort the job if the condition is not satisfied while checking it using batch FILE-AID.
Is it possible to set/force return codes if a condition is not satisfied in batch FILE AID.pls let me know the syntax for the same.

radkrish,

File-aid returns a code of 08 when no records are written/copied. So use an IF condition to check for the data and if there are no records satisfying the condition the output file will be empty and the return code is 08. Now use the COND code to abort the job.

Hope this helps..

Cheers

Thanks for the reply,kolusu.

My requirement is:

In a dataset having 200 bytes length,if there is spaces after the record length 110,then the job should be aborted.Else it should run further steps.

If there is 10 records and if any of the records having spaces after the record length 110,it should abort.It also contains header and trailer which is with in 50 bytes length.

after removing header and trailer

radkrish,

Here is an example. The input file has 2 records and in step0100 I am checking if there is any record with 'Kolusu' at 1st byte. If there is then I am copying it to the output file and the return code will be zero. In this case the job should abend. If there are no records with 'kolusu' in the 1st byte , then the return code will be 8. So this is a good condition and job should not abend. run the following job twice. 1st time as is and the second time delete the 'kolusu' record and run it. The 1st run will abend and the second run the job will NOT abend.

Thanks for the solution,Kolusu.
I abended the job by checking it thru IDCAMS after the FILEAID step.
