The function adds a new parameter to the dataset and performs a backup. It requires two files: the first containing the actual new parameter data. Inside the file three fields are mandatory: "accession_id", "accession_name", "value". The second file reports all the metadata information. (Note that environmental and phenotypical parameters have different sets of metadata. They need to be stored with the correct number of fields and in the correct order). Both the files are in .csv format.

1	add_param(ap.newparam, ap.metadata, ap.mode = F, ap.bk = normalizePath("~"))

`ap.newparam`	Character. Indicates the filename (csv) of the new parameter data. It has to contain at least three fields: accession_id, accession_name, value
`ap.metadata`	Character. Indicates the metadata filename (csv).
`ap.mode`	Flag. F (default) for phenotypical parameter, T for environmental
`ap.bk`	Character. Path to the backup folder. (default home folder).

After the data file has been read it's fileterd so that only the ecotypes among our selection of 1131 are retained; then the new data are saved in the exaustive corresponding table (phenotypical or environmental).

Finally the complete dataset is backed up and two sets of tables are printed: one tagged by the current date, to keep track of history of modifications and a second set tagged as "current" for the actual use and reference.

NULL. It automatically writes a backup.

# Example with environmental data
fl = system.file("extdata", "example_add_param.csv", package = "daphneg2")
mt = system.file("extdata", "example_add_param_meta.csv", package = "daphneg2")
add_param(fl, mt, TRUE)
