Hi,
The concept is that I don't know the file definition... ie. unique keys, constraints, ... so writing dummy records is not possible as it might violate the restrictions.
Even if it would work, once I write a dummy record I don't know if it is "occupied" or not.
Kind regards,
Paul

Maybe I am missing something but couldn't you first determine how many records in the file so in your example you have 3 records.
Next just write 7 more records with blanks or dummy.
Finally chain RRN 10 and update it.

Hi,
I was wondering if there's a method to write a record at specific RRN
in a file.
The RRN will not exist yet, so for example I have a file with RRN 1, 2
and 3... and I want to write RRN 10.
Kind regards,
Paul
