When I am appending records to a member in PDS, Which is already present, I am getting B14-04 error. I gave Disp as SHR still I am facing the same problem.

When I give new member then it is working fine.

My program simply reads from Input file and appends records to Out-Put file and I opened output file in Extend mode

//INDGSWA JOB 06227T,
// INDGSW,
// NOTIFY=INDGSW,CLASS=A,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1)
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=CK4LOG,PARM=(MERGME,DSS)
//STEPLIB DD DSN=SYS7.MDP.MDARNDS.LINKLIB,DISP=SHR
//INFILE DD DSN=LPGT.BAT.CNTL(POLMRGME),DISP=OLD
//OUTFILE DD DSN=INDGSW.LPGT.BAT.CNTL(LOG),DISP=OLD
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=X
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=X
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=X
//*

Could help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks,
Sridhar Reddy.

You cannot append to an existing member! Copy out the existing data to a new file, add the new records, delete the old member and write the new member.
