Is it possible to append rows in an ISPF table? Suppose I have a REXX command that reads a dataset containing values 1, 2, and 3 and writes these values to an ISPF table.

I then want to run the same REXX command again with another dataset containing 4,5, and 6 and write those values to the table.

The table should now contain 1,2,3,4,5,and 6.

The TBCREATE, TBOPEN, TBADD functions, etc. don't seem to have this option. Is it something in the way I should define the ISPTABL dataset to the program? I'm using LIBDEF. Is there a "MOD" or "APPEND" type of capability?

I found the problem with the code I was looking at. There was a subroutine which deleted the records from the ISPF table once they were looked at.

Adding a record will automatically append to the end of the table.
