Use Open Dataset in APPEND mode. Check Help for open Dataset with F!.

OPEN DATASET... FOR APPENDING tries to open the file in 'append' mode. If the file is already open, the system moves to the end of the file. When you open a file using FOR APPENDING, attempting to read the file sets SY-SUBRC to 4. The system display the end of the file.
