Hi Jalu,

Default extension for SDF file is .TXT. To specify that file doesn't have extension, add '.' (dot) to the file name.

FleName=adir(Farray,"\\server1\data\CD*")
for x=1 to FleName
    pathFl = "\\server1\data\" + Farray(x,1) + ;
              IIF(EMPTY(JUSTEXT(Farray(x,1))), ".", "")
    append from(pathFl) sdf
endfor
