I need to insert multiple records into an existing focus file. Does anyone have some simple code that can do that? Your help is greatly appreciated.

If it is a FOCUS file, as opposed to a HOLD file, you will need to use MODIFY to insert records:

MODIFY FILE ...
 FREEFORM key1_name key2_name key3_name field1_name field2_name field3_name etc.
 MATCH key1_name key2_name key3_name etc.
  ON MATCH REJECT
  ON NOMATCH INCLUDE
 DATA
key1_value,key2_value,key3_value,field1_value,field2_value,field3_value,$
key1_value,key2_value,key3_value,field1_value,field2_value,field3_value,$
key1_value,key2_value,key3_value,field1_value,field2_value,field3_value,$
END

Dan's suggestion is the simplest way to go.

Thanks for your help. I had to switch to a hotter task and have not been able to get back to this procedure. You can consider this topic closed. I will get back to this and will then try to use your suggestions.
