/APPEND /NOAPPEND (default) If /APPEND is specified, the database is loaded with RMS $PUT operations. If the database already exists it will be appended to; if not, a new database will be created. Duplicate keys (left hand sides) will replace existing entries in databases created with /NODUPLICATE, so the last occurrence of a given key will be the one that is used. /NOAPPEND is a synonym for for /FAST_LOAD.
