Batch BIRT Reports Need Option So They Are Not Sent If No Records Returned

We need Maximo BIRT reporting to support not sending out a report if no data is returned. Currently the report is sent out regardless if any records are returned. This results in extra space being taken up on the server or email server to hold a report that contains no data.
Because sometimes you want the data sent out regardless of data being returned (so you know the report actually ran), this should be an option the user can choose when submitting the batch report
