If you specify attributes other than these in the attribute list, then you must not use
this parameter. If you specify COMMON and do not assign a value to it, the existing
link to the entity in the common domain is deleted.
Description
System Dictionary automatically assigns values for the following attributes. You cannot modify the values
of these attributes.
date-created
date-changed
scope-changed
If the attribute is of type boolean, character, floating, or integer and you specify the name, but do not assign
a value, then the value from the attribute's edit values is used. If the attribute does not have any edit
values, then the System Dictionary default value for the attribute's data type is used.
boolean : false
character : ASCII blanks
floating : Floating point zero
integer : Binary zero
If the attribute is of type alias and you specify the name, but do not assign a value, the alias value is
deleted. If the attribute is of type variable and you specify the name, but do not assign a value, the variable
length attribute's text is deleted. If the attribute is of type boolean the only values allowed are true and
false (may be abbreviated T and F, respectively).
To modify or add a variable length attribute, you must specify the text within quotes. If the attribute is
already associated to the entity, the original text is replaced with this new text. To replace only part of the
text, refer to the EDIT ENTITY command.
To create an alias attribute value, specify the alias attribute name and assign it an alias value.
To modify an attribute of type alias or character, you must enclose the value within quotes if it includes
any invalid characters (See
"User-Defined Names" in Chapter 3) or is greater than 32 characters in length.
If sensitivity is the attribute to be modified, the valid values are:
private Only the owner scope is allowed access to the entity, unless it assigns access to other
scopes by associating the entity to the scope by means of the ADD SCOPE-ENTITY
command. This is the default.
read Anyscope withread capabilitymay readtheentity. Theowner scopemay, inaddition,
assign modify access to other scopes by associating the entity to the scope by means of
the ADD SCOPE-ENTITY command.
