Creating Objects
DAT_CREAT may be used to create an object but
note that it does not return a locator - a subsequent call to DAT_ASSOC
or DAT_EXIST is required before the object can be used.
Only one object can be created, its parents, if any, must already exist.
If the parameter specifies a top-level object, any existing container file will
be overwritten but it is an error (DAT__COMEX) to try to overwrite
an existing lower-level component.
The
ACCESS Field (see SUN/115)
specified in the Interface Module for the program must be `WRITE' or `UPDATE',
otherwise status SUBPAR_ICACM will be returned.
