Well yes, that’s what the module we have requires, which is why I thought we might be missing something as the documentation definitely says it should accept multiple files.

I thought, “CONCAT” but CONCAT does not work for sequential files. ?For FORTRAN I think that you should also be define FT05F001, FT05F002, FT05F003 but that does not seem to work either.

I see that WATERLOO had an append mod to FILEDEF and perhaps they used that?

If you got it, flaunt it.? :-)

(OTOH, I personally would write a smarter wrapper -- more portable. IBM's Yorktown lab was famous for shipping stuff internally that didn't work on vanilla VM systems.)?

so I think you could easily fix this on the LCM+L machine, but re-fitting the mods back to R6 might be a challenge….

…. as far as I can see the only way to do this on VM/370R6 is to copy the files before running the compiler.

The copy would be required on the LCM+L machine (VM/SP 5) as well.? It could be done in EXEC; it's just easier in IBM REXX.? (I have not used BREXX to know how well it mimics VM/SP REXX).? (The standard user configuration with a 30M temp disk on the LCM+L machine doesn't hurt either.)
