Inserting new records

This topic describes how to insert new records into a data set.

New records may be inserted before or after a selected record only in the table format or character page.

To insert a new record:
  1. Place the cursor on an existing record in the character page or table format where you would like to add a new record.
  2. Right-click to display the pop-up menu.
  3. Select "Add Record Before" or "Add Record After" depending on your preference to insert a new record before or after the currently selected record.

When a record insert is performed, the newly created record is initialized according to the current template layout (for example, spaces for alphanumeric fields, zeros for numeric fields, and so on). The ability to insert new records is only available in the table format and character page.

A newly added record with default values has been inserted below an existing record.
