Re: Insert a record -- RPG400-L

I believe what you are asking for is not possible.
If you have a file with three records - RRN1, RRN2 & RRN3
You cannot insert a record between RRN1 and RRN2
because there is no such thing as RRN1.5.
You could do this by keying every record and inserting
a record in a key sequence.
Or you could read from one file and write to another and then
insert (write) a record when it is needed. Which may be the
best solution for your application.

Ok, here's the application:
I have a report spool file (from a 3rd party application) that I copy to a
physical file.
The customer number is 14-10-00-01. We are faxing the statements to the
customer, and I need
to add some text before the 1st line of the report for each customer, as in:

>>>fax number here<<<
                                                       Date:  10/12/01

Mike,

Would you care to explain why you want this?  Although it might be possible,
but definitely not easy, to do what you describe, I can't help thinking
there should be an easier to accomplish whatever you want to accomplish,
