The help text of FILLM ("explain fillm") mentions an adverb "APARM":

<<...
  DOCONCAT...If true (>0) then data is to be appended to an
             existing file if possible.  Possible output files
             can be selected by OUTNAME, OUTDISK and OUTSEQ.
  APARM......1 >0 => new file for each scan, <0 => concatenate
             files read in if similar enough. 0 => defaults to -1
             for off-line FILLM, and to 1 for on-line FILLM
  NCOUNT.....Number of files to attempt to read, writing to a single set
             of output files.   0 => all.
...>>

where as "INP FILLM" omits this adverb:

<<...
AIPS 1: DOCONCAT     -1                    1 (T) => append data to old
AIPS 1:                                    files
AIPS 1: NCOUNT        0                    Number of files to read
AIPS 1: CPARM      *all 0                  User options.
