OPNQRYF - Zero records

I am trying to test if the OPNQRYF file produced has no records from the
selection criteria.

I can do this by using the DSPFD to an OUTFILE and then using DCLF and RCVF
to read the 1st record which will contain the &field MBNRCD , to inform me
if there are indeed 0 records.

But,

is this the best way to go ,

as this will only allow 1 file comparison in the CL program.

If I want to test any more files for zero records , then they have to have
their own CL programs.Which is obviously not ideal.
Also the testing of this is messy , as another file has to be created which
holds the testing files data.
