The production of D*+-(2010) mesons in deep inelastic scattering has been measured in the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 37 pb^-1. The decay channels D*+ -> D0 pi+(+c.c.), with D0 -> K- pi+ or D0 ->K- pi- pi+ pi+, have been used to identify the D mesons. The e+p cross section for inclusive D*+- production with 1

The measured cross section for D* production. The first is derived from theK2PI final state and the second from the K4PI final state.

The differential cross section w.r.t. Q**2 from the K2PI final state. The asymmetric errors are the quadratic sum of the statistical and systematic errors. The statistical errors are also shown separately.
