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.


      Thank you,  Dave Hansen

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.
