You could use ICETOOL to check for an empty dataset.

//PSTEP050 EXEC PGM=ICETOOL 
//TOOLMSG  DD  SYSOUT=* 
//DFSMSG   DD  SYSOUT=* 
//TOOLIN   DD  * 
 COPY FROM(DD01) TO(DD01O) 
 COUNT FROM(DD01) EMPTY 
/* 
//DD01     DD  DSN=input
//DD01O    DD  DSN=output

If the input is empty will get a return code of 12.
