Getting same exit status for empty and non empty file

Hi All,

I am checking for a empty input file to do some further action , but I am getting exit status 0 in both the cases , for empty and non empty file both.

The value of $? is coming 0 in if part also and else part too.

#!/bin/ksh
if [[ -s $DD_INDD ]]; then
echo "data"
# exit 0
echo "$?"
else
echo "****************************"
echo "**** ERROR - FILE EMPTY ****"
echo "****************************"
# exit 99
echo "$?"
fi;
exit
