When selecting anything other then Default, you may want to fill in the File Format LRECL: and BLKSIZE: to the necessary specifications for your file. With this information filled in, press the OK button.

Whatever capabilities you had prior to TSO in your XX3270 telnet/PC3270 software you will also have when using TSO. This would include append if it is part of your XX3270/PC3270 software.
