One of the first results one meets in coding theory is that a binary linear [n,k,d] code, whose minimum distance is odd, can be extended to an [n+ 1,k,d+ 1] code. This is one of the few elementary results about binary codes which does not obviously generalise toq-ary codes. The aim of this paper is to give a simple sufficient condition for aq-ary [n,k,d] code to be extendable to an [n+ 1,k,d+ 1] code. Applications will be given to the construction and classification of good codes, to proving the non- existence of certain codes, and also an application in finite geometry.
