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:

Use the APPEND command ?
