IN:

Name of the HDF file

	Purpose	Prepares the interface to write a data slice to the specified file.
	Return value	Returns SUCCEED (or 0) if successful and FAIL (or -1) otherwise.
	Description	Before calling DFSDstartslice, DFSDsetdims must be called to specify the dimensions of the dataset to be written to the file. DFSDstartslice always appends a new dataset to an existing file.
		Also, DFSDstartslice must be called before DFSDputslice or DFSDendslice.
		DFSDstartslice is obsolete in favor of DFSDstartslab. DFSDstartslab is the recommended function call to use when beginning hyperslab operations. HDF will continue to support DFSDstartslice only to maintain backward compatibility earlier versions of the library.
