If a file in a concatenated SYSIN DD is empty, it is flagged as such and
allows output but not input.  This flag remains with the data set in the
DSCB and does not allow the file to be read as input.

In the example below, the SASXXX.SASCTL is empty.  It will be opened
and flagged for output and will not allowed to be read for input.

  //SYSIN DD DSN=SASXXX.SMF.CNTL(INPUT2),DISP=SHR
  //    DD DSN=*SASXXX.SASCTL,DISP=(OLD,PASS),VOL=REF=*.SASCNTL
  //CTLIN DD *
    PDS
    FINE <CONFIG>
  //*
