Hi
I have a requirement to insert some records in the beginning of a file where
already some lines are existing . i tried using DISKW using MOD , but they are
appending to the end. How do we insert in the beginning? I am using REXX for
this program.
Thanks in advance

You can read the whole file into a stem variable, put the lines you want
to insert into a stack, and then loop though the first stem variable to
append the values to the stack and then write the file back.
