Excel flles don't have "properties".  Properties are a mainframe perversion.

"empty" or "DUMMY"?  That's DFSMS's WAD behavior for DUMMY.
Documented.  Sucks.

Does SFTP (see Subject:) support APPEND?  More to the point, why should this
mickeymouse be necessary?  Why doesn't FTP behave like a normal OS/360
program?  Shmuel cited an apt aphorism a few years ago:

    | What went wrong?

    It started early: George Mealy is alleged to have called it "The rape
    of the design integrity of OS/360" and blamed it on a lack of
    standards enforcement.
