Question StdOut to file --> Append Mode
Hy

I've got a little problem:

I work with ksh...
The application I start should write its output to a log file. It works but the problem is that as I have to run this application few times in a loop it overrites the file every time.Smilie

Code:
 
/proj/bre/tools/bin/bretestdriver QMGR=$QMGR REQUEST=$REQUEST CONTROL=$INPUTSAS $TESTCASE 1>Testing_Log_BREKERN.txt

I tried to do things like -a after the statement above, but that doesn't bring any result at all...

Could anyone help me please..
Thanks very much
