Georgie V,

Try

APP FI FILENAME DISK FOLDERNAME/FILENAME.com
or
APP FI FILENAME DISK c:\ibi\apps\FOLDERNAME\FILENAME.com


Then, generate the HEADER record into the FILENAME:

ON TABLE HOLD AS FILENAME FORMAT COMMA
END
-RUN
FILEDEF FILENAME CLEAR
-RUN

APP FI FILENAME DISK FOLDERNAME/FILENAME.com (APPEND
or
APP FI FILENAME DISK c:\ibi\apps\FOLDERNAME\FILENAME.com (APPEND

Now, populate with your detail

Hope this helps...

Tom
