Hi there,

I am wanting to 'append' an ascii file - but instead of appending the
new data to the bottom
I want the new data to be at the top of the file.

Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Example: I have a file that currently consists of:

ABCDEFG

My new data is : HIJKLMN

using OPENU /APPEND and PRINTF I can very easily append the file to
get this:

ABCDEFG
HIJKLMN

.... but I want the appending to be at the top - ie, I want to end up
with this:

HIJKLMN
ABCDEFG

Any ideas ?

George.
