No, that's not true either. This from the previously mentioned ISAM Logiic 
manual:

<quote>
The WRITE KN macro instruction is used
with the READ KU macro instruction to update variable-length records when the
record length can change. The WRITE KN macro instruction allows the user to 
insert
new logical records into the data set or to replace a variable-length logical 
record with
one having the same key and possibly a different record length.
