Hi Folks,
Because of some interest on this list, we just wrote a tool that
might help people in long jobstreams. It is called EMPTYTST and it is a
batch program which can tell if a PS dataset or a PO member is empty or not.
EMPTYTST uses SYSUT1 for the input dataset, and returns a code of 0
if that dataset is not empty, a code of 4 if it is empty, and a code of
8 if a pds member does not exist. If the SYSUT1 DD name is missing, it
returns a code of 12.
EMPTYTST has two optional additional outputs--a WTO to the log, and
a SYSPRINT output, either or both of which can help if you are looking
through a long jobstream.
EMPTYTST is on File 971 of the Updates page of www.cbttape.org and
(of course) it is free. All CBT Tape caveats and disclaimers apply, as
with everything else in the CBT Tape collection.
We hope it will help.
All the best of everything to all of you.
Sincerely, Sam
