zero byte file

[dodda]

hello

I have a datastage job which processes the file stocks.dat. i can expect the size of the file to be of zero bytes some times. In the cases datastage process the file stocks.dat with success with zero records imported and i produce a out put file with zero bytes. My problem is i want the datastage job to abort if it finds a file of zero bytes and i want to include that piece of code in shell script which is already existing.

can any body throw some light on how to make datastage job to abort if it finds a zero byte input file through shell script.

Regards

There's lots of ways. Count the file first and deal with it, maybe as a before-job routine. Another way is an after-job link count evaluation in a routine. Another way is thru a controlling jobstream process such as a Sequence, Batch, or command-line shell script which checks the input file.
