Does REPRO perform an append to a dataset

Does REPRO perform an append to a dataset, if the ALLOC statement has a MOD? Or should I use IEBGENER? (These are binary datasets)

I verified for all non-VSAM datasets (FB, VB, FBA etc.) and it is working fine. Did your process smell any trouble for IDCAMS?

(Not sure how this ended up in the SMS forum, I meant to put it in TSO)

It works ok on my side too, in the sense that there are no error messages. However, when I check to see if the second append to a dataset worked, it looks like the dataset was overridden, rather than appended to.

Didn't use IDCAMS yet, I thought REPRO would be more direct.
