Subject:      Adding a record to a SAS data set in a D

Hi SAS-Lers
     I wish to add a record or records to a SAS data set, called MASTER
 within a Data Step.   I have come up with 2 methods, neither of which I
like very well.   Although, the 2nd is better than the first.
 
Method 1
Create a second data set, called B using a cards statement,  infile, ect and
 in a third data step use a set statement to read both MASTER and B;
 
Method 2
Use the  insert into statement in Proc SQL .   However,  given my situation
I end up creating a  data step after the Proc SQL to perform additional data
step operations.
 
 
I only need to  add 1 record to the data set MASTER  and do not really want
to create an additional data set, and data step, if it is not necessary.
 Does any one have any suggestions?  Perhaps something akin to SQL's insert
into, but in a data step.
 
Thanks in advance,
