Splunk Search

append command deletes values from search

Hi
using append to add result to search , values dissapears from my main search and drives me crazy.
The result is per search basis, meaning 1 time execute -> Null values, 2nd run -> ok - 3rd Null...
100% problem is from append.
Total non-sense and more than 7 hours analyzing.

There is a limit on number of events returned from sub-search, could be because of that.
