DESCRIPTION
   Function  d_crwrite writes the data pointed to by value to data field
   FIELD in current record. 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. This function cannot be used to modify fields which
   comprise a compound key. Call d_recwrite to modify compound keys.
