Hi, I worked with the IBM support people. I intermittenly was receiving a 550 that after tracing I could not get to reproduce. I appended 115 members together with no fauilure. Yet sometimes I can't get two in a row to work. IBM mentioned something about the dataset in use that could cause this type of error. But if you want to use TCP/IP to append files:
QUEUE 'OWL0' <=== FTP Host QUEUE 'xxxxxx xxxxxx' <=== Protect the innocent QUEUE "AP 'SY4019.JCL.PROCLIB.OLD(TMLSSHBR)' 'SY4019.JCL.PROCLIB.OLD(X)'" QUEUE "AP 'SY4019.JCL.PROCLIB.OLD(TMONCICS)' 'SY4019.JCL.PROCLIB.OLD(X)'" QUEUE 'QUIT' FTP I know I can use a netrc and not have passwords in here , but this simple example can work.

Period. No discussion. All generalities are false, including this one <g> You are correct in the general sense, however it should be obvious that when a PDS member is the last, it can be opened with BPAM, blocks added at the end, and a STOW REPLACE will create an appended member. Or you could use plain BSAM, EXCP, or STARTIO, write blocks at the end, update DS1LSTAR, and not even touch the directory entry.
