This just adds a "deleted" record.  If the user needs the record in order to run output processing upon it - then this will not be enough.  I believe the following (untested) should work however.  You would need a screen zero in this example with field 1 as the first field in the cursor path.

\fp\dclerk filename -s0 -z addone -y none -xa

Where addone is a processing table containing the following:

top::exit:
@wef1:::
::write:
::goto top:

Its probably easier to just do a free record lookup, then write to it - from a filepro file that you know has some records in it.
