Spool file, only if data exists.
Hi All,
I have one Question, that is it possible to check the spool output?
What i mean to say is "spool the file only if data exists"
I am trying to fetch data from a sql query, and want to generate a file, on a condition that the file should be generated, only if the output of the sql query gives me atleast one record.
Thanks in advance.
