The original request said they wanted to insert *a* record into the stream... Your suggestion will insert a record for each record read from the file that contains APPLES. resulting in a file of lines containing APPLES,separated by lines of ORANGES.

'PIPE < test file a |',
'locate /APPLES/|',
'strliteral /ORANGES/|',
'> new file a'

Will result in a "new file a" with one record more than the count of 'APPLES' records found. The first record of the new file will be ORANGES... if you want it to be the last, use APPEND STRLITERAL...
