Bill, I am sorry that we cannot provide you with a way to meet all your requirements.
The best we can suggest is to add a TRAILER1 statement to print out the number of records in the file. If you have additional questions, please call our support line at 201-930-8260 and one of our support reps will be glad to assist you.

If any of the files ends up with no records written to it is it possible, within the SORT statements, to write out a single record with a message? For example "NO RECORDS FOR THIS FILE" when this condition is found? If the TRAILER statement is used to do this in some manner I would not want a trailer record written to the files with data however. Thanks for any insights.
