Hi, How do we append a file in a procedure? the file is created by the procedure itself. Thank you :)

Hi, If a file already exsist but needs to be opened you should use OPEN/APPEND. To write records to the file you should use the WRITE command Here's an example, first loop creates a new file, second loop opens an existing file. $ ! $ ! CREATE NEW OUTPUT FILE $ ! $ OPEN/WRITE/ERROR=OPEN_ERROR OUTPUT_FILE TEMP.OUT $ COUNT = 0 $ WRITE_LOOP1: $ COUNT = COUNT + 1 $ IF COUNT .EQ. 11 THEN GOTO ENDIT1 $ WRITE OUTPUT_FILE "Count is ''COUNT'." $ GOTO WRITE_LOOP1 $ ENDIT1: $ CLOSE OUTPUT_FILE $ ! $ ! APPEND EXISTING FILE $ ! $ OPEN/APPEND/ERROR=OPEN_ERROR OUTPUT_FILE TEMP.OUT $ COUNT = 0 $ WRITE_LOOP2: $ COUNT = COUNT + 1 $ IF COUNT .EQ. 11 THEN GOTO ENDIT2 $ WRITE OUTPUT_FILE "Count is ''COUNT'." $ GOTO WRITE_LOOP2 $ ENDIT2: $ CLOSE OUTPUT_FILE $ EXIT $ ! $ OPEN_ERROR: Greetz, Jo!

Use the APPEND command ?
