Hi guys [:)].

I have a problem and I'd like all of you to help me resolving this item.

Running a server job wich generates sequential files in the DataStage server, some of those files have 0 (cero) bytes. Logically this is fine because of the process itself. But I don't want these files with (cero) 0 bytes to be generated [:(].

Does anybody know how can I avoid the generation of files with 0 (cero) bytes ?[?]

Thanks in advance [:D]

Guillermo,

You may want to try the checkbox for "Omit last new-line" on the format tab of the sequential file input tab.
This worked for me when sending files to IBM 390.

If Steve's advise doesn't work out and you can't avoid getting zero byte files, look into something like this.

Setup an after job (or after stage) routine to call a script that checks a file for a size of zero and deletes it if found. Pass in the path as a parameter. At worst case, they will be gone when the job finishes. [:D]
