checking for filesizes before sending

Hi there,
I have a ksh script that send an sql to a database, exports the results to a directory, then send this file later after formation to an ftp server.
Problem ... this file sometimes contains nothing, so i will like to extend my scripts to check the filesize and when = 0, then it exits with an error code (8) as an example.

can someone help.

What shell are you using? In Korn Shell, I believe you can use the test -s to test for size > 0. see man test

see test(1) man page

/usr/bin/test will work with all shells.
