hi
I am assuming you have a .dbf file and know the name of the field in question. However, you will need to have dbase installed as this is the shell that will enable u to perform the operation.
From the command prompt...type...
USE my.dbf
REPLACE ALL myfieldname with "613-" + myfieldname
and its as simple as that

There is more than one way to skin a cat...but who wants a skinned cat?
