Re: Determining if a file has 0 records in CL

Rob,

probably you should have asked this in midrange-l, since it's not RPG but
CL, but here is the answer anyway:

             PGM        PARM(&FILE &MEMBER)

             DCL        VAR(&FILE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
             DCL        VAR(&MEMBER) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(10)
             DCL        VAR(&RECD) TYPE(*DEC) LEN(10 0)


             RTVMBRD    FILE(&FILE) MBR(&MEMBER) NBRCURRCD(&RECD)
             IF (&RECD = 0) THEN(DO)
             GOTO ENDTAG
             ENDDO

             /* process file/member */

ENDTAG:  ENDPGM

Determining if a file has 0 records in CL






HI I am sure this has been covered but I can't find it.If a file has 0
records then I don't need to process further. I am trying RCVF but it
would need a counter there must be a command I can use.
Thanks,
Rob400
