You need something like this: LOCATE PART.NBR IN RECORD<14> BY "AL" SETTING POS ELSE INSERT... END In a "THEN" condition, the value is already in RECORD<14>. You only need to do an INSERT when it's not found. When it's not found, POS will contain the position that the new value should be in so just use it. Don't override the value by setting it to zero.
