I think Prakash was referring to the  HI-LO-EQ resulting indicator
positions, and not the L0 indicator.

re: why not chain first...

If you usually end up adding records, you can assume you'll be adding
records, and save the time expense of the extra chains.  Of course, if the
error indicator turns on you'll have to determine -why- you had a problem
writing a record.
