What method are you trying to use to write the data.
If it is MODIFY it will not work because MODIFY does not support sequential datasets.

If you are trying to add rows then allocate the file using APPEND (DYNAM ... MOD on mainframe),and just do a standard Table File xxx .... HOLD FORMAT ALPHA

If you are trying to add columns then create the target as either Focus or a DBMS table with the extra columns as dummy entries, then use MODIFY with the ON MATCH UPDATE option.

Is the ability to update a VSAM file installed at your site?

It's been years since I have used FOCUS against VSAM files. From the master file you displayed I believe that the value for segtype is incorrect for a VSAM file. I seem to recollect that it has to be the same value for all VSAM files but I do not believe the correct value is S1. Look in the the FOCUS VSAM read/write interface manual for the correct value for segtype. The segtype S1 does not mean KEY to the file is the first described field for a VSAM file like it does for a FOCUS database. The KEY is usually described separately. That might also explain why the modify does not work as it does not know what the real keys are.
