INSERT leave the record pointer to the new record. RECNO is evaluated before the INSERT take place. So, since RECNO return 1 for an empty cursor and since you move the record pointer to the end of file after each insert, your code should work. But beware that if you enable table buffering, your code won't work anymore, because RECNO will return -1 on uncommited insert.

>Thanks for your answer but if the INSERT sould do what you said, then in the following example the "SKIP" should make every second record leave out.

Create Cursor temp (int1 i, num1 n(4,0))

>  Insert Into temp (int1, num1) Values (RECNO(),RecNo()*10)
>  SKIP
