WRITE ATTRIBUTE Command (8Dh)
DLT-S4 Interface Reference Guide 340
• If the attribute is Read / Write, the attribute is deleted. The attribute
is not returned in response to a
READ ATTRIBUTE command and not
reported by the
READ ATTRIBUTE command with the ATTRIBUTE LIST
service action.
• If the attribute does not exist, the attribute in the
WRITE ATTRIBUTE
command parameter list is ignored; this is not considered an error.
If either of the following conditions occurs, no attributes are changed, the
WRITE ATTRIBUTE command terminates with a CHECK CONDITION status,
the Sense Key is set to
ILLEGAL REQUEST, and the Additional Sense Code
is set to
INVALID FIELD IN PARAMETER LIST:
• The parameter data attempts to change a read-only attribute.
• The parameter data contains an attribute with incorrect contents in
the Attribute Length field (see Attribute Format
on page 242).
