#### Procedure

       void ekinsr_c ( SpiceInt  handle,
                       SpiceInt  segno,
                       SpiceInt  recno )

#### Abstract

       Add a new, empty record to a specified E-kernel segment at
       a specified index.

#### Brief_I/O

       Variable  I/O  Description
       --------  ---  --------------------------------------------------
       handle     I   File handle.
       segno      I   Segment number.
       recno      I   Record number.

#### Detailed_Input

       handle         is a file handle of an EK open for write access.

       segno          is the number of the segment to which the record
                      is to be added.

       recno          is the index of the new record.  recno must be
                      in the range 0 : NREC, where NREC is the
                      number of records in the segment prior to the
                      insertion.  If recno is equal to NREC, the
                      new record is appended.  Otherwise, the new
                      record has the ordinal position specified by
                      recno, and the records previously occupying
                      positions recno : NREC-1 have their indices
                      incremented by 1.

#### Detailed_Output

       None.  See the $Particulars section for a description of the
       effect of this routine.

#### Parameters

       None.

#### Exceptions

       1)  If handle is invalid, the error will be diagnosed by routines
           called by this routine.  The file will not be modified.

       2)  If segno is out of range, the error SPICE(INVALIDINDEX)
           will be signaled.  The file will not be modified.

       3)  If recno is out of range, the error SPICE(INVALIDINDEX)
           will be signaled.  The file will not be modified.

       4)  If an I/O error occurs while reading or writing the indicated
           file, the error will be diagnosed by routines called by this
           routine.  The file may be corrupted.

#### Files

       See the EK Required Reading for a discussion of the EK file
       format.

#### Particulars

       This routine operates by side effects:  It adds a new, empty
       record structure to an EK segment at a specified ordinal position.

       After a record has been inserted into a segment by this routine,
       the record must be populated with data using the ekace*_c
       routines.  EKs are valid only when all of their column entries
       are initialized.

       To append a record to a segment, use the routine ekappr_c.

       This routine cannot be used with the "fast write" suite of
       routines.  See the EK Required Reading for a discussion of the
       fast writers.

#### Examples

       1)  Insert a record into a specified E-kernel segment at a
           specified ordinal position.

           Suppose we have an E-kernel named order_db.ek which contains
           records of orders for data products.  The E-kernel has a
           table called DATAORDERS that consists of the set of columns
           listed below:

              DATAORDERS

                 Column Name     Data Type
                 -----------     ---------
                 ORDER_ID        INTEGER
                 CUSTOMER_ID     INTEGER
                 LAST_NAME       CHARACTER*(*)
                 FIRST_NAME      CHARACTER*(*)
                 ORDER_DATE      TIME
                 COST            DOUBLE PRECISION

           The order database also has a table of items that have been
           ordered.  The columns of this table are shown below:

              DATAITEMS

                 Column Name     Data Type
                 -----------     ---------
                 ITEM_ID         INTEGER
                 ORDER_ID        INTEGER
                 ITEM_NAME       CHARACTER*(*)
                 DESCRIPTION     CHARACTER*(*)
                 PRICE           DOUBLE PRECISION

           We'll suppose that the file order_db.ek contains two segments,
           the first containing the DATAORDERS table and the second
           containing the DATAITEMS table.

           If we wanted to insert a new record into the DATAORDERS
           table in position 0, we'd make the following calls:

                EKCLS ( HANDLE )
              #include "SpiceUsr.h"
                  .
                  .
                  .
              /.
              Open the database for write access.  This call is
              made when the file already exists.  See ekopn_c for
              an example of creating a new file.
              ./
              ekopw_c ( "order_db.ek", &handle );

              /.
              Insert a new, empty record into the DATAORDERS
              table at record number 0.  This moves the existing
              records down, so the old record 0 becomes record 1,
              and so on.  Recall that the DATAORDERS table
              is in segment number 0.
              ./
              recno = 0;
              segno = 0;

              ekinsr_c ( handle, segno, recno );

              /.
              At this point, the new record is empty.  A valid EK
              cannot contain empty records.  We fill in the data
              here.  Data items are filled in one column at a time.
              The order in which the columns are filled in is not
              important.  We use the ekace*_c (add column entry)
              routines to fill in column entries.  We'll assume
              that no entries are null.  All entries are scalar,
              so the entry size is 1.
              ./
              isnull  =  SPICEFALSE;
              size    =  1;

              /.
              The following variables will contain the data for
              the new record.
              ./
              ordid    =   10011;
              custid   =   531;
              lname    =   "scientist";
              fname    =   "joe";
              odate    =   "1995-sep-20";
              cost     =   5000.;

              /.
              Note that the names of the routines called
              correspond to the data types of the columns:  the
              last letter of the routine name is C, I, or D,
              depending on the data type.  Time values are
              converted to ET for storage.
              ./
              ekacei_c ( handle,  segno,  recno, "order_id",
                         size,    ordid,  isnull             );

              ekacei_c ( handle,  segno,  recno, "customer_id",
                         size,    custid, isnull              );

              ekacec_c ( handle,  segno,  recno, "last_name",
                         size,    vallen, lname,  isnull      );

              ekacec_c ( handle,  segno,  recno, "first_name",
                         size,    vallen, fname,  isnull      );

              utc2et_c ( odate,   &et );

              ekaced_c ( handle, segno,  recno, "order_date",
                         size,   et,     isnull               );

              ekaced_c ( handle, segno,  recno, "cost",
                         size,   cost,   isnull               );

              /.
              Close the file to make the update permanent.
              ./
              ekcls_c ( handle );
