creating an output record if input count is 0

[dnat]

Hi,

I am creating a statistics file in a job based on the count in the incoming link. I have aggregators to count the number of records. But if there are no records o.e zero records in the input link, it is creating a 0 byte output file , which is normal. But i want to create an output file(which is a fixed width file) and specify the count as 0. so i want to output space(10):0 for a column in the output file.
Is this possible.

Yes.

Easiest is an after-job subroutine to test the size of the file and echo the desired value into it if the size is zero. Use ExecSH or even ExecSHSilent.
