You can use a macro for that (untested):

%macro ed(ds);
%let nobs=0;
data _null_;
  set &ds;
  call symput("nobs",_n_);
  stop;
run;
%if &nobs=0 %then %do;
  %put no data in &ds;
%end;
%else %do;
  proc fsedit data=&ds;
  run;
%end;
%mend;

data test;
 stop;
run;
%ed(test);

data test;
  x=1;
run;
%ed(test);
