   D_CSMWRITE

SUMMARY
   d_csmwrite(SET,FIELD,value[,dbn])
   int SET;
   long FIELD;
   char *value;
   int dbn;

ARGUMENTS
   SET         Set type of current member to be written.
   FIELD       The field type from current member.
   value       Pointer to new value.
   dbn         (optional)The number of the database containing the record

DESCRIPTION
   Function  d_csmwrite writes the data pointed to by value to data field
   FIELD in the current member of SET. If FIELD is a key field, the key will
   automatically be updated. If FIELD is used as a sort field for an
   ascending or descending ordered set, the record's position in the set
   will autimatically be adjusted accordingly. If FIELD is an array field,
   the entire array is written. Elements of an array cannot be written
   individually. Fields used in a compound key cannot be modified with this
   function -use d_recwrite instead.

CURRENCY CHANGES
   None

RETURN CODES
    -2   S_INVSET      Invalid set type. Probably passed a record or field
                       type instead of set.

    -5   S_INVFLD      Invalid field type. You either did not pass a field
                       type or you passed a field type which is not in the
                       current member.

    3    S_DUPLICATE   Duplicate key

    -9   S_NOCM        The current member is null.

    -15  S_ISCOMKEY    Illegal operation using compound key field.

    -24  S_NOTLOCKED   Record type containing FIELD is not locked.

    -27  S_TRNOTACT    Transaction not active. In shared mode,changes can
                       only be made from within a transaction.

    -39  S_COMKEY      Records containing compound keys cannot be updated.

EXAMPLE
     char name[32];    /* author name */
     ..
     /* Change author "Worth" with "Wirth" */
     for (d_findfm(AUTHOR_LIST); db_status==S_OKAY; d_findnm(AUTHOR_LIST))
         {
         d_csmread (AUTHOR_LIST,NAME,name);
         if (strcmp(name,"Worth")==0)
               d_csmwrite(AUTHOR_LIST,NAME,"Wirth");
