[Stackoverflow] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Openedge add text at the beginning of an existing text file

Found some kb on append text at the end of an xml file

Progress KB - How to append text at the end of an XML file?

OUTPUT TO VALUE ("cust.xml") APPEND.
/* Append a new line character to the end of the file */
PUT UNFORMATTED "~n ".
/* Append some text after the new line character */

thank you
