   n          I   Number of characters to add to file.

   epos       I   Begin and end positions of substrings.
   datlen     I   Common length of the character arrays in `data'.
   data       I   Array providing the set of substrings to be added
                  to the character data in the DAS file.

Detailed_Input

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

   n           is the total number of characters to add to the specified
               DAS file.

   bpos,
   epos        are the begin and end character positions that define the
               substrings in each of the elements of the input array.
               This routine writes the first `n' characters from the
               specified set of substrings to the specified DAS file.

   data        is a two-dimensional character array, some portion of whose
               contents are to be added to the specified DAS file.
               Specifically, the first `n' characters of the substrings

                  data[i][bpos:epos],    i = 0, ...

               are appended to the character data in the file.

               `data' must be declared at least as

                  SpiceChar            data   [r][epos+1]

               with the dimension `r' being at least

                  r = int( ( n + sublen - 1 ) / sublen )

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

                  sublen  =  epos - bpos + 1

               The order of characters in the input substrings is
               considered to increase from left to right within each
               element of `data', and to increase with the indices of the
               elements of `data'.

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

          [  0,  datlen - 1  ]

       or if epos < bpos, the error SPICE(BADSUBSTRINGBOUNDS) is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   3)  If the input count `n' is less than 1, no data will be
       added to the specified DAS file.

   4)  If an I/O error occurs during the data addition attempted
       by this routine, the error is signaled by a routine in the
       call tree of this routine.

   5)  If `n' is greater than the number of characters in the
       specified set of input substrings, the results of calling
       this routine are unpredictable. This routine cannot
       detect this error.

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

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

Particulars

   DAS is a low-level format meant to store and transmit data. As
   such, character data in DAS files are not interpreted by SPICELIB
   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 adds character data to a DAS file by "appending" them
   after any character data already in the file. The sense in which
   the data are "appended" is that the data will occupy a range of
   logical addresses for character data that immediately follow the
   last logical address of a character that is occupied at the time
   this routine is called. The diagram below illustrates this
   addition:

      +-------------------------+
      |    (already in use)     |  Character logical address 1
      +-------------------------+
                  .
                  .
                  .
      +-------------------------+  last character logical address
      |   (already in use)      |  in use before call to dasadc_c
      +-------------------------+
      |  data[0][bpos]          |  First added character
      +-------------------------+
      |  data[0][bpos+1]        |
      +-------------------------+
                   .
                   .
                   .
      +-------------------------+
      |  data[0][epos]          |
      +-------------------------+
      |  data[1][bpos]          |
      +-------------------------+
                   .
                   .
                   .
      +-------------------------+
      |  data[r-1][c]           |  n'th added character---here `r' is
      +-------------------------+
                                      (SpiceInt)( (n+l-1)/l )

                                   where l = epos - bpos + 1, and
                                   `c' is

                                      bpos + ( n - (r-1)*l ) - 1

   The logical organization of the characters in the DAS file is
   independent of the order of addition to the file or physical
   location of any data of integer or double precision type.

   The actual physical write operations that add the input array
   `data' to the indicated DAS file 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 update character logical addresses that already
   contain data, the CSPICE routine dasudc_c (DAS, update 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.

         /.
         Read the 41 characters that we stored on the DAS

         three lines should remain unmodified, and that
         only 5 characters will be written on the 7th line.

            /.
            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:
