We wrote some utilities that do useful checks and set the RC. It was initially used for COND statements in JCL, but can also be used to conditionally execute JCL. Count the number of lines in a dataset (to see if it is empty or contains more than or no more than x lines): //COUNT1 EXEC PGM=COUNT //DSN DD DSN=report.dsn //IF1 IF (COUNT1.RC>0) THEN email the report //ENDIF1 ENDIF otherwise an empty email would be sent Or: Compare 2 values: // SET ACTION=YES //COMP1 EXEC PGM=COMP,PARM='&ACTION,YES,0,1' if &ACTION=YES RC=0, else RC=1 //IF1 IF (COMP1.RC=0) THEN // do things for ACTION //ELSE1 ELSE // do things for NOT ACTION //ENDIF1 ENDIF Kees. ********************************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
