To be short... I'm trying to replicate a file with respect of the RRN numbers.

And to make it more complex... I can't replicate it in sequential order, but it needs to be random.
And second... the files don't have the same layout.

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.

This is a very strange set of requirements you have. Can you describe
at a higher level what you are trying to do?
