Q] DATA FNAME(60) VALUE 'myfile' . here do we create a new file or refer to an existing file?

Talking of the OPEN DATASET statement.

if u open a file for input purpose, then the file fname should be exist.

otherwise its for output, no need to be exist in the app.server

but u want append data to existed file, then its should be exist in app.server

Is it not that even for appending , then file gets created auomatically
