Testing for empty file condition in Server Job
Moderators: chulett, rschirm, roy
Craig/Ray,
Have a problem with executing the script after the file extraction done to check for empty file. We mainly get files in .del and .csv format. Now, I build the script with ErrorLevel1, so when the record is 0, script will fail. The issue is, even though the .csv file is empty it is 2 bytes and when the data is empty it has header which is almost 170 bytes. How does the scrip know when the file has 2 bytes or more. I mean, if we use 0 bytes code, then the script will run though file is empty or with just the header included. Any thoughts?
