Subject:      Empty seq file in MVS

I'm sure I've seen this before but I can't find it in my backlog and time is
running out....so
 
My customer is reading a flat sequential file (this is MVS by
the way) to read in info to use later in the program. Normally this flat file
has data in it, today it has nothing and his job failed.
 
Is there an easy way in SAS to determine that this file is empty?
 
If not directly in SAS any other ways?
 
Many thanks.
