/CONCATENATE /NOCONCATENATE Qualifier type: qualifier Supported file Local (RMS) (/CONCATENATE only) and remote files types: This qualifier controls whether multiple input files create corre- sponding multiple output files or create a single output file containing the concatenated contents of all the input files. Concatenation, which is the default, involves combining multi- ple input files (in their input order) into a single output file. For concatenation, all the input files must have identical file organization, record format, and record attributes. Creating mul- tiple output files, which requires local input files, requires the /NOCONCATENATE qualifier. Default action: /CONCATENATE; The output file bears the name of the first input file.
