WARNINGS
       This  command  is  intended  for SAM use only.  It may change with each
       release and can not be guaranteed to be backward compatible.

       Several database fields interact with others.  The side effects	of  an
       individual change may not cause a problem till much later.

       Special meanings may apply in the following cases:

	      ·	     an absent field
	      ·	     a field without a value
	      ·	     a field with a zero value
