Re: Appending Binary Files
The command to append file A to the end of file B is
$ APPEND A B
"Binary file" is a meaningless term in the VMS world, and perhaps elsewhere.
$ DIRECTORY/FULL of the files in question would at least let us know what you are talking about. $ ANALYZE/RMS would be even better.
"does not want the zeros at the end of each file listed". ??? The append operation does not do any listing. Do you mean that the user does not want the data at the end of the files included in the resultant file?
If you want to remove data from a file, you will need some kind of a filter. For a first try, I would use an editor.
Good luck.

Re: Appending Binary Files
What does
$ dump/header/block=(count:0) filename
show for the file?
By "the zeros at the end of each file" do you mean bytes that are past the end of file mark?

Re: Appending Binary Files
The direct and literal approach here is unlikely to have the desired results, however.
As an example of this, directly jamming together two Microsoft Word documents - which are binary files, for the sake of this discussion - won't work.
Please tell us what problem or task the user is seeking to perform here, and not how the user proposes to solve it.
This includes background on the problem and the goals, and details on the particular binary file format(s) and application programs involved.

Re: Appending Binary Files
If you're referring to data files you should review the sort merge utility in the OpenVMS Users Manual. See chapter 9 http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/731final/6489/6489pro_020.html#sort_ch
