How can I get multiple appendices to be correctly labeled A, B, C

Question

I'm using

%\documentclass[twocolumn,showpacs,preprintnumbers,amsmath,amssymb]{revtex4}
\documentclass[preprint,showpacs,preprintnumbers,amsmath,amssymb]{revtex4}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\newcommand\numberthis{\addtocounter{equation}{1}\tag{\theequation}}

%\documentclass[preprint,aps]{revtex4}
%\documentclass[preprint,aps,draft]{revtex4}
%\documentclass[prb]{revtex4}% Physical Review B

\usepackage{graphicx}% Include figure files
\usepackage{dcolumn}% Align table columns on decimal point
\usepackage{bm}% bold math
\usepackage{amsmath}

I have three appendices that are all being labeled as "A", rather than "A", "B" "C".

I tried (after consulting the stack exchange) using "\begin{appendices}...\end{appendices}" and also just using "\begin{appendix}...\end{appendix}" once instead of three times.

They all still get labeled as "Appendix A".

for making it easier to help, you should create a complete minimal working example of the current status of your work. In a book class, adding chapters in the appendix creates a new letter A, B, .. for each chapter: like \appendix \chapter{First Appendix} \section{Section One} \section{Section Two} \chapter{Second Appendix} \section{Section One} \section{Section Two} — MostlyHarmless, Aug 01 '16 at 19:25

Use the command \appendix instead of \begin{appendix}...\end{appendix}. Then follow the command with the text of your appendices. All following \section commands will be labeled with capital letters instead of numbers.

I included a couple of sections and a TOC in my MWE so that you can see the numbering styles change from the main document vs. the appendix. Hope that's what you're looking for!

(Note: remember to include a complete MWE when you post a question.)

    \documentclass[preprint,showpacs,preprintnumbers,amsmath,amssymb]{revtex4}
    \usepackage{amsmath}
    \newcommand\numberthis{\addtocounter{equation}{1}\tag{\theequation}}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \usepackage{dcolumn}
    \usepackage{bm}
    \usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\section{Section One}
Text for section one.

\subsection{Subsection One}
Text for subsection one.

\appendix

\section{First Appendix}
Text for appendix one.
\subsection{First Appendix Subsection}

\section{Second Appendix}
Text for appendix two.
\end{document}

My result looks like this:
