Detailed_Input

   handle      is a file handle of a DAS file opened for writing.

   first,
   last        are the first and last of a range of DAS logical
               addresses of characters. These addresses satisfy
               the inequality

                  1  <=   first   <=   last   <=   lastc

               where `lastc' is the last character logical address
               in use in the DAS file designated by `handle'.

   bpos,
   epos        are the begin and end character positions that define the
               substrings in each of the elements of the input array
               that are to replace the data in the range of DAS
               character addresses given by `first' and `last'.

   data        is a two-dimensional character array. The contents of the
               specified substrings of the elements of the array `data' will be
               written to the indicated DAS file in order: data[0][bpos] will
               be written to character logical address `first'; data[0][bpos+1]
               will be written to the character logical address first+1, and so
               on; in this ordering scheme, character [bpos] of data[i] is the
               successor of character [epos] of data[i-1].

               `data' must be declared at least as

                  SpiceChar            data   [r][epos+1]

               with the dimension `r' being at least

                  r = int( ( last - first + sublen ) / sublen )

               and `sublen', the length of each of the substrings in
               the array to be written to the DAS file, being

                  sublen  =  epos - bpos + 1

   datlen      is the common length of the character arrays in `data'.

Detailed_Output

   None.

   See -Particulars for a description of the effect of this routine.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If the input file handle is invalid, an error is signaled by
       a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   2)  Only logical addresses that already contain data may be
       updated: if either `first' or `last' are outside the range

          [ 1,  lastc ]

       where `lastc' is the last character logical address that currently
       contains data in the indicated DAS file, the error
       SPICE(INVALIDADDRESS) is signaled by a routine in the call tree of
       this routine. The DAS file will not be modified.

   3)  If `epos' or `bpos' are outside of the range

          [  0,  datlen-1  ]

       the error SPICE(INVALIDINDEX) is signaled by a routine in the call
       tree of this routine.

   4)  If `bpos' is greater than `epos', the error SPICE(INDICESOUTOFORDER)
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   5)  If first > last but both addresses are valid, this routine
       will not modify the indicated DAS file. No error will be
       signaled.

   6)  If an I/O error occurs during the data update attempted
       by this routine, the error is signaled by a routine in the
       call tree of this routine. `first' and `last' will not be
       modified.

   7)  If the `data' input string pointer is null, the error
       SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   8)  If the `data' input string has length less than one character,
       the error SPICE(NODATA) is signaled.

Files

   See the description of the argument `handle' in -Detailed_Input.

Particulars

   DAS is a low-level format meant to store and transmit data. As
   such, character data in DAS files are not interpreted by CSPICE
   DAS input or output routines. There are no limits on which
   character values may be placed in the virtual character array of a
   DAS file.

   This routine replaces the character data in the specified range
   of logical addresses within a DAS file with the contents of the
   specified substrings of the input array `data'.

   The actual physical write operations that update the indicated
   DAS file with the contents of the input array `data' may not take
   place before this routine returns, since the DAS system buffers
   data that are written as well as data that are read. In any case,
   the data will be flushed to the file at the time the file is
   closed, if not earlier. A physical write of all buffered
   records can be forced by calling the CSPICE routine daswbr_c
   (DAS, write buffered records).

   In order to append character data to a DAS file, filling in a
   range of character logical addresses that starts immediately
   after the last character logical address currently in use, the
   CSPICE routine dasadc_c (DAS add data, character) should be
   used.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) The following example demonstrates the capabilities of the
      DAS character data routines. The reader should notice that
      in these interfaces, the character data are treated not as
      strings (or arrays of strings) but as a stream of single
      characters: DAS character data are not limited to
      human-readable text. For example, one can store images or
      DEM data as DAS character data.

      The example shows how to add a variable amount of character
      data to a new DAS file, how to update some of the character
      logical addresses within that file, and how to read that
      data out to a different array.

         /.
         Open a new DAS file. Use the file name as the internal

         /.
         Read the 41 characters that we stored on the DAS
         file. Update the data on the `cdatou' array, placing

         three lines should remain unmodified, and that
         only 5 characters will be written on the 7th line.
         ./
         printf( "\n" );
         printf( "Data from \"%s\":\n", FNAME );

            /.
            Add null-terminating character to `cdatou[i]' in order to
            print it to the screen.
            ./
            strncpy( cdastr, cdatou[i], 30 );

      When this program was executed on a Mac/Intel/cc/64-bit
      platform, the output was:
