Answer / kolla ravi
There is not a thing like a "Bulk insert" or "many records
in one go". No matter what method you adopt the record
action on file is done one at a time.
Now the method you use again depends on Data you have.
If you have data in one or more files CPYF can be used. SQL
may be used when more conditioning and calculation is
needed.Manual entry may be thro UPDDTA or Programs supplied
by 3rd party or tailor made to suit the need.

Bulk insert can be done in ways
1. Using SQL we can runa query
insert into table1 values('a','b','c'),('x','y','z')
2. Using STRDFU we insert records into PF
3. Using DBU (Database utility )also we can insert records

The question is ambiguous. But still one answer is that you
can enter do bulk insert by the command INZPFM FILE(PF1)
RECORDS(*DFT).Hence the member will be written with data of
maximum records the member can hold.
