INSERT - Insert into a field group

Basic form

INSERT f1 f2 ... INTO fg.

Effect

Inserts one or more fields into the field group fg (see FIELD-GROUPS ).

Notes

This basic form of INSERT is not a declarative, but an operational, statement, i.e. it must be executed at runtime.
A field group can only accept global data objects, not data objects which have been defined locally in a FORM or FUNCTION .
The actual data transport is performed by EXTRACT .
As soon as the first dataset for a field group has been extracted with EXTRACT , the field group can no longer be extended with INSERT . The field group HEADER cannot be extended at all after the first EXTRACT (regardless of the field group).

Note

Runtime errors

EXTRACT_INSERT_LOCAL_DATA : Attempt to insert local data objects into a field group.

INSERT_INTO_LOCKED_FIELD_GROUP : INSERT into field group after records of this type had already been extracted with EXTRACT .
