Hi,

I am reading a a file using sequential stage with a grep command in Filter property.If there is no data in the file for my grep command , it is throwing an error :Filter Status 256.

But when there is no records I do not want my job fails throwing an error.

any help greatly appreciated.

Change the command to detect file size and perform the grep conditionally upon that.

Actually there are other records in the file which are not matching the grep command, In that case i can't check by file size right?

any suggestion Ray?

grep twice, the second time conditional on the exit status of the first being zero.

Can we pass the grep command twice on Filter property in sequential file file stage? If so can you tell me how to pass it like what is the syntax should looks like?
