    Argument                                Description
    _________________________________________________________________________
    isfd                                    File descriptor identifying the
                                            ISAM file in which the record is
                                            being written.
    record                                  Character buffer holding the
                                            data to be written into the
                                            file.

    When you use iswrcurr, care must be taken to ensure values are located
    properly in their fields in the record buffer prior to calling the func-
    tion.

    If the function executes successfully, the current record position
    pointer and isrecnum are both set to the new record.

    Any indexes are updated as needed.

    If the record contains any duplicate values in fields that are defined
    with NODUPS attribute, an error is produced and no record is written.

    On success, iswrcurr returns 0.  Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets
    iserrno to indicate the error.

 Example


       iswrcurr( bookfd, buffer ) ;
