Re: Checking for records in CL?

try RTVMBRD FILE(myfile) NBRCURRCD(&recs)

you must know the name of the member OR it must be the first, last or only
member in the file OR you know which position (numeric) it is. (first, last
and position apply to both date and name ordered members).

Is there any way to check, in CL only, if a file has records?

Currently I am using:
PGM
    RGZPFM FILE(TEMP)
    MONMSG MSGID(CPF2995) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(SKIPIT))

    ...code that shouldn't run if there aren't any records...

SKIPIT:
ENDPGM

This works OK, but I would definately prefer a positive test.

Other alternatives?
