I would think not producing the report (and thus no email) may be a better
option to pursue than trying to add conditional logic to InfoPrint.

If it's just a query, maybe convert it to an RPG program (or something
else) that creates the report (or doesn't).

Or, have pre-processing program that runs an SQL Count() on the records
first and if it's zero, don't run the query (and thusly, not creating a
report which will not get emailed).

Just thinking out loud. :)

Rob and Evan,

I agree with the sending the email all the time, not my call.
This is a management requirement.

This particular list is a list of objects that need to reviewed (then
probably deleted) by programmers.

Taking that further, copy the spool file output from the query into a
table before it is turned into a PDF, and then query it or search it for
the "no records" message. If not found continue with the pdf and email
processing.

Rob makes a good point about emails going missing though. I suspect it
will be better to email the no records report so people know the report was
run.

I don't know about any exit point processing, like Query Governor Exit

Jeff,

Agree, that could be done.

Thus far there is no coding involved.
Currently all achieved with configuration / combination of AJS,
WRKQRY, and InfoPrintServer PDFMAPE.

Paul,
What I do when I need to know if my query produced results first
before taking any other action is to run the query directed to an
output file in qtemp, then retrieve the number of current records in
that file. If the value is ZERO, I have no data and skip the rest of my
processing.

From AJS, we email many spoolfiles, some generated by wrkqry.
We use InfoPrintServer (PDFMAPE) to auto email the spoolfile by
setting the spoolfile HOLD attribute to *NO.

If the query results in "No records in query report" , we do not
want to auto email the spoolfile.

Any of the below manual changes would stop this.
Is there an easy way to accomplish this automatically?

1) Set HOLD to *yes
2) Move spoolfile to different output.
3) Delete the spoolfile

Thank You
