Naveen, Thanks for exhaustive answer. I am a newbie so I might be wrong, but after some experiments I tend to believe that the current output.format.string, as it is written in tutorial is wrong. Currently it is: "%1$$s %2$$s %3$$s %4$$s %5$$s %6$$s %7$$s %8$$s %9$$s" I believe it should be: "%1$s %2$s %3$s %4$s %5$s %6$s %7$s %8$s %9$s" What makes me think so?

After the change of the format string, the new row was nicely inserted.
