In MPEX you can say PURGE @(EOF=0) and purge all files with no records.

Subject: [HP3000-L] Deleting Empty Files


Hello,
 
I hope someone can help me out with the following:
 
I have a group that contains flat files that get FTPed to our network by a
job on the HP3000.
Before FTPing the files, I would like the job to delete files that are
empty(IE: no records), but
the problem is that the file name is never the same (file name contains a
sequential number).
 
Is there a way with MPE or MPEX to determine which files in the group are
empty and delete them?
Something along the lines of a  LISTF that gets piped to FIFO which then
purges the empty files.
 
Thanks,
 
Stefan
