If you have a RECORD variable with data fields matching a table structure, you can insert a row to this table with this RECORD variable using the INSERT statement as shown in the example below:

CREATE TABLE emp_temp AS SELECT * FROM employees;

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE FYI_CENTER AS
  manager employees%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT * INTO manager FROM employees
    WHERE employee_id = 100;
  manager.employee_id := 299;
  INSERT INTO emp_temp VALUES manager;
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('# rows inserted = '
    || SQL%ROWCOUNT);
END;
/
# rows inserted = 1
