    Variable         Explanation
    __________________________________________________________________
    /qualifier       An RMS qualifier of the APPEND command. For a
                     full description of supported qualifiers, see
                     individual qualifier subtopics; for a summary,
                     see the "Qualifier" subtopic.

    input-file-spec  A file specification of an input (source) file,
                     which can be either local or remote.

    [,...]           A file list containing file specifications for
                     one or more additional input files. Within a file
                     list, you must precede each additional file spec-
                     ification with either a comma (,) or a plus sign
                     (+) with or without a space. To end an input file
                     list, either omit the comma or plus sign between
                     the last input file specification and the output
                     file specification or press <RET>.

                     Input files can be from the same or different
                     FTAM systems.

    output-file-     The name of an output file. Because FTAM
    spec             always creates only one output file, the
                     APPEND/APPLICATION_PROTOCOL=FTAM command ac-
                     cepts only one output-file specification.

                     For local output files, appending a file to a
                     local directory is controlled by the same rules
                     that control the RMS appending utility. If you
                     specify no directory, the utility places the
                     output file in your default directory. If you
                     specify another local directory for which you
                     have write privileges, the utility places the
                     output file in that directory.

                     For remote output files, always specify the file
                     designation. For information on where a remote
                     FTAM system places an output file that is created
                     remotely using FTAM, see the documentation of the
                     remote system.
