This is a two step process 1) load the case into memory you want to update 2) write the case.
For example, let's say I have a STAFF_DICT with a staff id and staff name. Let's say the data file has a single value:
STAFF_ID = 001
STAFF_NAME = Erin
To update the staff name, the logic would look like this:
STAFF_ID = 1;
if loadcase(STAFF_DICT, STAFF_ID) then
// data from staff 001 is loaded into memory
// update name
STAFF_NAME = "Aaron";
// write update
writecase(STAFF_DICT);
endif;
