I'm working with some old programs that are using some techniques I'm
not 100% familiar with. They are using temp files to simulate screen
data so a process can run both interactively and in batch.

I am adding a procedure to the first RPG program, so I need to
replace the O-specs. What I've tried so far (writing a record to
WK424R) is not working. Looking for suggestions.

You can't convert O specs to free form directly, as there is no analog.

Based on your post, I think it would be best to convert that program
described file to an external data structure ... either defined as a PF
or a data structure in a copy member.

You could then use that structure to write to the temp file.

Alternatively, you could just pass the structure as a parameter to the
other program.
