    Argument                         Description
    _________________________________________________________________________
    isfd                             File descriptor identifying the ISAM
                                     file containing the record to be
                                     updated.
    record                           Character buffer whose contents are
                                     written into the file.

    Each index defined on the data file, including the primary index, is also
    updated as needed.  Unchanged keys are not rewritten.

    The record buffer should be loaded with the new data before the call is
    issued.  Care must be taken to ensure that fields are located properly in
    the buffer.

    On return, isrecnum is set to the rewritten record and the current record
    position is unchanged.  On success, isrewcurr returns a positive integer.
    Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets iserrno to indicate the error.

 Example


       isrewcurr( bookfd, buffer ) ;
