 NAME

   remove object - Removes a value from a set-valued or single-valued
                   attribute (including application-defined attributes)
                   of an object entry

 SYNOPSIS

   cdscp remove object object-name attribute-name [= attribute-value]

 ARGUMENTS

   object name
             The full name of the object entry.

   attribute-name
             The name of a particular attribute.  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

   The remove object command removes a value from a set-valued or
   single-valued attribute (including application-defined attributes)
   of an object entry.  If you do not specify a value, the command
   removes the entire attribute.  This command can delete attributes
   created by the add object and set object commands.  Usually, this
   task is performed through the client application.  See the OSF DCE
   Administration Guide for more information about attributes.

   Privilege Required

   You must have write permission to the object entry.

 NOTE

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

 EXAMPLE

   To remove the value ps from the attribute printcap of an object entry
   named /.:/mlh/deskprinter, follow these steps:

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

                 OID         LABEL           SYNTAX
             1.3.22.1.3.50   printcap        char

    2.  Enter the following command to remove the value ps from the
        attribute printcap.

             cdscp> remove object /.:/mlh/deskprinter printcap = ps
