INSERT [BEFORE] [BLANK]
-----------------------------------
Inserts a new database record.
-----------------------------------
INSERT places a new record into the currently selected database
immediately after the current record. INSERT then displays the new
record for editing.
If CARRY is SET ON and the BLANK option is not specified, data contained
in the previous record is automatically entered into the INSERTed
record.
If the file is indexed, INSERT works like APPEND.
Warning -- INSERT is not recommended for use with large databases
because an insertion near the front of the database forces rewriting of
nearly every record. This may take a very long time -- use APPEND
instead.
Clauses
-------
BEFORE
INSERT BEFORE inserts a new record into the current database
immediately before the current record. The record is then displayed for
editing. Data may be entered only into the newly inserted record.
BLANK
INSERT BLANK inserts a blank record either immediately before or after
the current record depending on whether the BEFORE option is included.
If a BLANK record is INSERTed, an editing window does not appear.
