Narrative:

At XA13Z, with socal approach, on the vny 330 degree radial at 13 DME, at 7000 ft. Received a TCASII alert followed by a command to climb. Climbed 800 ft when finally cleared of traffic. Copilot saw light aircraft off his side within 200-300 ft of us and he was still climbing. I never saw aircraft. Reported to approach. Approach said he had just appeared on the scope. We declared a near miss with approach.
