Store a file's ref in a FileMaker container

Question

Hello
I am populating a FileMaker's database from numerous folders (more than 1000).
When I try to store in a field of type Container a file's pathname corresponding to a Picture, it works.
When the file's pathname correspond to a text file it fails.
How may I tell to FM that I want to insert a File, not a Picture ?
At this time the used instruction is:
set repetition j of cell "divers_1" of last record of it to fdj
where it is the database and fdj the file's alias I want to insert.
Thanks in advance.

Hello
It seems that I was not clear enough.
The script igrab a descriptor (in fact a class alias one) to a text file.
I want to insert it in a field of kind container.
Alas, I am unable to find the correct syntax.
The one passed in my late message works when the file is a Picture one.
How must I change it when the file is a text file?
Filemaker Pro 8.5 give the ability to insert:
Picture file, Quicktime file, Sound file and Files.
The container defaults to Picture.
I repeat, I have no problem to identify the file but I want to know how I may code the instruction to insert it.
