 NAME

   set object - Changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued attribute
                of an object entry

 SYNOPSIS

   cdscp set object object-name attribute-name = attribute-value

 ARGUMENTS

   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

   The set object command changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued
   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

   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 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:

                 OID         LABEL           SYNTAX
             1.3.22.1.3.66   sales_record    char

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

             cdscp> set object /.:/Q1_records sales_record = region2
