Figure 2-2. Current Value for a Box Attribute
Now suppose that you want to restrict the application to only
insert, read, and update operations on a file; that is, you do
not want to allow delete operations. You do this by supplying
OFF as a value for the DELETE attribute. You could supply this
value when you enter the ADD BOX command to name and add the box
that represents the file. The following ADD BOX command, for
example, supplies OFF as a value for the DELETE attribute:
ADD BOX parts-box, DELETE OFF
When you supply an attribute value with an ADD BOX command, you
supply an override value for the box attribute. An override
value is a value that applies only to the object being added.
The value supplied for the DELETE attribute, for example, by the
preceding ADD BOX command applies only to "parts-box." When you
supply an override value with an ADD BOX command, ENABLE enters
this value in the attribute table. Figure 2-3 illustrates this
process.
