 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      set object - Changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued
      attribute of an object entry

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      cdscp set object object-name attribute-name = attribute-value


 ARGUMENTS    [Toc]    [Back]
      object-name
                The full name of the object entry.

      attribute-name
                The name of the attribute to be modified.  Specify only one
                attribute at a time.  See the cds_attributes file for the
                list of attributes and corresponding data types that your
                application uses.

      attribute-value
                The value of a particular attribute.  The value of an
                application-defined attribute is dependent on the type of
                attribute.


 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The set object command changes the value of a modifiable, singlevalued
 attribute of an object entry.  If the attribute does not exist,
      this command creates it.  Usually, this task is performed through the
      client application.  See the OSF DCE Administration Guide for more
      information about attributes.

    Privilege Required    [Toc]    [Back]
      You must have write permission to the object entry.

 NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]
      This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may
      not be provided in future releases of DCE.

      To change the value of the sales_record attribute to region2 of an
      object entry named /.:/Q1_records, follow these steps:


       1.  Read the cds_attributes file to check that the attribute
           sales_record is listed, as shown in the following display:

       2.  Enter the following command to assign the value region2 to the
           attribute sales_record of an object entry named /.:/Q1_records.
