I'm not sure what you want.
If I want to change records in an existing database, without rewriting the entire file, I can do that easily with a RANDOM access file, or with a SEQUENTIAL file, like the one you are referencing, with a few tricks.
If you are talking about writing a new file name, then all you have to do is write a routine like Dimster described to make the next file, and do whatever you need to do to supply the data to fill that new file.'
