$MAINT anyone?

I have a need to do the following.  From a command line enter records one by
one to a file.  It seems to me that back in S/36 days there was a way to do
this.  I'm kind of hazy about it but I think it went something like this:

// LOAD $MAINT  (i think that was the name)
// file name  (forget the syntax)
// DATA
// data for record one
// data for record two
// data for record three
// etc
// END


With the result that your file then contained those records.  I only need to
enter a half dozen records or so and I don't want to use DFU or EDTF.  Is
there a similar function on the 400?  Any ideas on some other method?  Then
again maybe my memory is but a dream and you could never do this!


TIA,
Tom Daly
