Not able to read Data set file with zero records

[Prashantoncyber]

Hi All,

To my utter surpise,
We have created data set file in one job and some times there are zero records in this for particular day run.
While reading the same data set file from another job with zero records our jobs are failing with below error.

Error executing View Data command:

Check whether this file "/udd002/DSExtras/DataSets/Brac_Except2006-12-19.ds" physically exists on the server. If it does exist then try to open it using the Data Set Management utility in the DataStage Manager. If not, then you need to check the code which is creating this data set.
