Don, Yes, we can set a return code if the file is empty. Cameron has the right idea of using NULLOUT, however it will NOT work in your case as you are using OUTFIL processing. So, the parm you need to use is NULLOFL. So, change this statement OUTFIL BUILD=(1,133) To OUTFIL BUILD=(1,133),NULLOFL=RC4 This will set RC=4 when the input file is EMPTY.
