Perhaps you could post some example code to let us see what you are doing? You problem description is not very descriptive (no pun intended).

This does work but probably not as you would expect. LabVIEW prepends information to variable sized binary data such as arrays that tell it how many elements follow. So if you read back your array you would have to read back two arrays now. The first read would read the orignal array written to the file and the next read will read the appended array.

This is logical and the only way to make this work since binary means just really that, and not some metaformat that would handle such concatenations and other hairy operations transparently.
