    The documentation is pretty worthless since the File adapter is built into the launcher and not external. I don't thing the Put function supports a file append option but just in case, does anyone know a way to make it append.

    code:
    = Put ("File"
    , "errorFile.dat"
    , Package (RowRecord))

    Thanks

    You are correct that you cannot append using the PUT function.

    Thanks folks, always good to confirm that I wasn't missing anything. I know how to code it I was just wishing IBM would make it easier for me.

    IBM Product Improvement; the Put function needs a parameter to allow it to support appending to a file.

    To be 100% correct, what you need is not an improvement of the PUT function, which does all a given adapter can do, but an improvement of the FILE adapter, so that it accepts commands, just like "regular" adapters do... or you could write your own adapter !

    Otherwise, the RUN map is the only practical solution

    You may have to run a map with -OF1+ c:\file.txt, where the + says append.
