Rahul, there were multiple issues as you might have noticed already - the attempt of overlaying a constant in TRLUPD subparameter, and the usage of FNAMES instead of FILES. And it took several posts to show what was actually tried. At least in his last post he did that.

The OP seems to have solved the FNAMES error, and for the other main problem, Bill has made a clear suggestion but am not sure if it came to the OP's notice. Lets hope if he tries something based on that, and comes up with something.

Another option is to build a new trailer using TRAILER1 in the OUTFIL omitting the existing trailer (assuming other fields are the constants shown in the example) instead of updating the existing trailer using IFTRAIL

EDIT: I think by the time I made this post, 2 other posts came in. Bill-Sorry abt that.
