Resolving The Problem

This is an IBM-specific mainframe error:

Unable to create data set dsname for command command.
Explanation:
The server attempted to allocate to a new data set to store data. The dynamic allocation was unsuccessful. command is STOR, STOU, or APPE.
System action:
The command is rejected. FTP continues.

In order to append to the file successfully, the filename had to be enclosed in quotes within the PUT service parameter list.
