#### 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

             ./
             dasonw_c ( FNAME, TYPE, FNAME, 0, &handle );

             /.
             Set the input data. Note that these data will be
             considered as a binary data stream: DAS character data
             are not limited to human-readable text. For example,
             one can store images or DEM data as DAS character data.
             ./
             strncpy( cdatin[0], "--F-345678901234567890", 22 );

             strncpy( cdatin[2], "--T-IRDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", 22 );

             /.
             Add the last 20 characters of the first two elements
             of `cdatin', and the 3rd character from the third one.
             ./
             dasadc_c ( handle, 41, 2, 21, 22, cdatin );

             /.
             Update the 10th, 20th and 30th character in the DAS
             file with a vertical bar.
             ./
             for ( i = 1; i < 4; i++ )
             {
                dasudc_c ( handle, i*10, i*10, 0, 0, 1, "|" );
             }

             /.
             Close the file.
             ./
             dascls_c ( handle );

             /.
             Now verify the addition of data by opening the
             file for read access and retrieving the data.
             ./
             dasopr_c ( FNAME, &handle );

             /.
             Read the 41 characters that we stored on the DAS
             file. Update the data on the `cdatou' array, placing
             6 characters on each element, starting from the
             10th position.
             ./
             dasrdc_c ( handle, 1, 41, 9, 14, 30, cdatou );

             /.
             Dump the data to the screen. Note that the last
             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 );

             for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )
             {

                /.
                Add null-terminating character to `cdatou[i]' in order to
                print it to the screen.
                ./
                strncpy( cdastr, cdatou[i], 30 );
                cdastr[30] = '\0';

                printf( "%s\n", cdastr );
             }

             /.
             Close the file.
             ./
             dascls_c ( handle );

             return ( 0 );
          }

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