Hi,

How to insert record with key into allready existing VSAM file.For example in the below file, I need to insert record with emp no = 3, emp name = TWS.

emp no (Key) Emp name
1 ABC
2 XYZ
4 PQR
5 ABC

Whether file should be opened in the output mode or I-O mode?.

You can open the file in either I-O or output mode. Use the COBOL WRITE verb. Are you getting some response after trying this that raises an issue?
