Depending on the number of records in the input file, EXECIO may not be the most efficient way to do this.
But you could create a new file with the new lines in it and then use something like IEBGENER later in the REXX to mod the data from the original file into the new file. The reason to do it this way is to protect your original file from being corrupted should there be a failure of some type (x37, 0Cx, etc). Mod will normally add lines to the end of a file not to a beginning of a file.
