Greg:
There are two situations where you don't need to specify a key for a write. If you're writing to an extended keyed file you don't need to specify the key because it can be taken from the known record position. The only time you don't need a key for a legacy keyed file write is following an EXTRACT. In this case the key to extracted record is implied.
