Record Insert
Use this feature to open spaces (sectors) within a data set
so records can be added. Space for up to 99 records can be
created. To do this, the 3741 moves all records starting with
the record currently being displayed through the last record
in the data set. The records are moved, toward the end of
extent, as many sectors as the number of records being in-
serted.
After moving the records, the 3741 fills the vacated space
with deleted records, The deleted records are identified by
a D in position 001 and an \ (inverse slash) in position 002.
The new EOD address, in the data set label, is updated when
the 3741 returns to the Index (X) mode.
