@Kolusu, I know how hard good documentation is. I have not looked at your documentation -- I am just citing the empirical evidence that the OP and @Lizette did not find the answer.
I am guessing the OP framed the original question as "how do I set a specific RC" and that is the sort of thing he searched for. I just went to KC -- isn't that how we are supposed to be doing things these days? :-( -- and searched on DFSORT plus the subject of this thread. I did not get any hits that seemed immediately relevant, but drilling down on PARM= I found NULLOUT, which at least should have been a start ...

OP wanted the opposite. He wants to set a return code when he has at least 1 record, so that it would trigger his additional processing. >>Might I respectfully suggest that your documentation could use some work, if neither the OP nor the diligent @Lizette could find the answer to this simple question? Charles, I am not sure what keywords/Phrase was used for search, but a simple search for NOTEMPTY in DFSORT Application programming guide will point to the link that I gave earlier. You would have found the same link while searching for EMPTY. Ideally for any question related to DFSORT, I suggest looking in DFSORT Application programming Guide, and if it is an error, then I would start looking in DFSORT Messages and codes manual. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
