   VARIABLE  I/O  DESCRIPTION
   --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
   fname      I   Name of a DLA file to be opened.
   ftype      I   Mnemonic code for type of data in the DLA file.
   ifname     I   Internal file name.
   ncomch     I   Number of comment characters to allocate.
   handle     O   Handle assigned to the opened DLA file.

Detailed_Input

   fname       is the name of a new DLA file to be created. The file
               will be left opened for write access.

   ftype       is a code for type of data placed into a DLA file. The
               non-blank part of `ftype' is used as the "file type"
               portion of the ID word in the DLA file.

               The first nonblank character and the three, or fewer,
               characters immediately following it, giving four
               characters, are used to represent the type of the data
               placed in the DLA file. This is provided as a convenience
               for higher level software. It is an error if this string
               is blank. Also, the file type may not contain any
               nonprinting characters. When written to the DLA file, the
               value for the type IS case sensitive.

               NAIF has reserved for its own use file types consisting
               of the upper case letters (A-Z) and the digits 0-9. NAIF
               recommends lower case or mixed case file types be used by
               all others in order to avoid any conflicts with NAIF file
               types.

   ifname      is the internal file name for the new file. The name may
               contain as many as 60 characters. This name should
               uniquely identify the file.

   ncomch      is the number of comment characters to allocate.

               `ncomch' is used to establish the number of comment records
               that will be allocated to the new DLA file. The number of
               comment records allocated is the minimum required to
               store the specified number of comment characters.

               Allocating comment records at file creation time may
               reduce the likelihood of having to expand the
               comment area later.

Detailed_Output

   handle      is the file handle associated with the file. This handle
               is used to identify the file in subsequent calls to other
               DLA routines.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If the input filename is blank, an error is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine. No file will be
       created.

   2)  If the specified file cannot be opened without exceeding the
       maximum allowed number of open DAS files, an error is signaled
       by a routine in the call tree of this routine. No file will be
       created.

   3)  If the file cannot be opened properly, an error is signaled by
       a routine in the call tree of this routine. No file will be
       created.

   4)  If the initial records in the file cannot be written, an error
       is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine. No
       file will be created.

   5)  If no logical units are available, an error is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine. No file will be
       created.

   6)  If the file type is blank, an error is signaled by a routine
       in the call tree of this routine. No file will be created.

   7)  If the file type contains nonprinting characters, decimal 0-31
       and 127-255, an error is signaled by a routine in the call
       tree of this routine. No file will be created.

   8)  If the number of comment characters allocated to be allocated,
       `ncomch', is negative, the error SPICE(BADRECORDCOUNT) is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine. No
       file will be created.

   9)  If any of the `fname', `ftype' or `ifname' input string
       pointers is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   10) If any of the `fname', `ftype' or `ifname' input strings has
       zero length, the error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled.

Files

   See argument `fname'.

Particulars

   DLA files are built using the DAS low-level format; DLA files are
   a specialized type of DAS file in which data are organized as a
   doubly linked list of segments. Each segment's data belong to
   contiguous components of character, double precision, and integer
   type.

   This routine creates a new DLA file and sets the type of the
   file to the mnemonic code passed to it.

   DLA files created by this routine have initialized file records.
   The ID word in a DLA file record has the form

      DAS/xxxx

   where the characters following the slash are supplied by the
   caller of this routine.

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) Create a DLA file containing one segment; the segment
      contains character, double precision, and integer data.
      After writing and closing the file, open the file for
      read access; dump the data to standard output.
