Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=US-ASCII

I am just starting out at this, so I beg you excuse me if this is a basic
question, but I have read TFM, and find no help there.
 
I have several SAS datasets, each of which contains 30 years of data that I
would like to output to a single ASCII file, in ten year segments.  I had
thought to do it using multiple data steps, each outputting to the same file,
but the file is renewed each time and I find no "append" option. Am I missing
it?  or is there another way?
 
                              TIA,
                              Steve Dolan
