Book excerpt: New measurements of D[sub s][sup+] and D*[sub s][sup+] meson production rates from B decays and from q[bar q] continuum events near the[Upsilon](4S) resonance are presented. Using 20.8 fb[sup -1] of data on the[Upsilon](4S) resonance and 2.6 fb[sup -1] off resonance, we find the inclusive branching fractions[Beta](B[yields] D[sub s][sup+]X)= (10.93[+-] 0.19[+-] 0.58[+-] 2.73)% and[Beta](B[yields] D*[sub s][sup+] X)= (7.9[+-] 0.8[+-] 0.7[+-] 2.0)%, where the first error is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the D[sub s][sup+][yields][phi][pi][sup+] branching fraction uncertainty. The branching fractions[Sigma][Beta](B[yields] D(*)[sub s][sup+][bar D](*))= (5.07[+-] 0.14[+-] 0.30[+-] 1.27)% and[Sigma][Beta](B[yields] D*[sub s][sup+][bar D](*))= (4.1[+-] 0.2[+-] 0.4[+-] 1.0)% are determined from the D(*)[sub s][sup+] momentum spectra.
