Subject: Checking for records in CL?
 
Is there any way to check, in CL only, if a file has records?
 
Currently I am using:
PGM
RGZPFM FILE(TEMP)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF2995) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(SKIPIT))
 
...code that shouldn't run if there aren't any records...
 
SKIPIT:
ENDPGM
 
This works OK, but I would definately prefer a positive test.
 
Other alternatives?
