To whom it may concern,

I am just starting to learn AIPS, so I apologize if this question is too basic and something I should have been able to figure out the answer to from using the AIPS cookbook or some documentation.  I am trying to concatenate two data sets, and I am using DBCON.  I have entered filenames for INNAME, IN2NAME, and OUTNAME, but when I enter GO, I get an error message that says TXTMAT: NO MEMBER NAME GIVEN.  I assume this means I have to enter more keywords before it will work properly, but I don't know what else I ought to be using as inputs.  I also don't know for sure if this really is in fact what is going wrong.  If it is inappropriate to ask a question like this here, I am sorry.  I would appreciate it though if I could be referred to a good place to learn more about using DBCON in AIPS.  

(The reason I am trying to learn AIPS is because I believe CASA does not allow several measurement sets to be concatenated in such a way that the data can then be averaged over multiple days of observing, but I have been told that it is possible to do this the way I want to using AIPS.)

Thanks,
Philip Engelke
