Reason: Add CODE tags.
Your requirements are ambiguous and the output that you say should be produced does not match the sample input you provided. You say that:
Code:
some data
should appear at the start of your output, but it did not appear in you input??? Are we supposed to produce random data when we see a line starting with a colon? Or are we supposed to always output the line:
Code:
some data
at the start of the output?
Do you want the 1st four lines of each section that starts with a line containing a colon?
After inventing "some data", do you want all lines in the file except for lines five and on when you find a line starting with :7023: and restart printing everything when you find the next line starting with a colon?
Please give us a clear statement of what you are trying to do, a clear sample input file (in CODE tags), and a clear sample output file (in CODE tags) that shows what you want done to the given sample input. Have you sample input contain at least two complete groups of lines that start with a colon.

Hi,
Before insert, delete everything. If ' available before insert, then we need to keep this.
Input:
====
l_s := ' INSERT INTO TEST1'
INSERT INTO TEST2
Output:
====
'INSERT INTO TEST'
INSERT INTO TEST2 (2 Replies)
